Eurie Kim
Modern dominoes have been around for centuries, and each country has their own version of the game. As a child, Eurie’s favorite way to play was to line them up in a particular order, and knock them all down with one tile. This approach would serve as a solid metaphor for her work today. Ultimately, to be a successful builder, one must have the vision to chart a path forward that others aren’t able to see and the foresight to put each step in the right order to gain the momentum needed to win.
As a former entrepreneur, Eurie has deep personal appreciation for the emotional commitment and relentless passion required of a founder, allowing her to be radically empathetic while realistic and honest in the advice she offers. She is endlessly inspired by identifying evolving consumer needs, drawn to opportunities that leverage technology to optimize and innovate every aspect of life — and the right entrepreneurs with the vision to take on the challenge.
Eurie joined Forerunner Ventures in 2012 and has invested in companies spanning health and wellness, travel, supply chain automation, career and learning, and AI infrastructure. She is Chairperson of the Board at ŌURA, and also sits on the Boards of The Farmer’s Dog, Stan, Leland, Curology, The Feed, Acely, and Joy. Prior to Forerunner, Eurie helped develop strategies for Fortune 100 companies at Bain & Company, and also invested in growth-stage consumer and retail businesses. Eurie earned an MBA with honors at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and holds a B.S. with honors in Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley.
