Rachel Lam is a legendary investor and cultural enabler. In 2003, she launched Time Warner Investments, the in-house venture capital arm of Time Warner Inc., where she was head of this group for 14 years. There, she invested over $325MM in 54 companies that struck numerous strategic partnerships with Time Warner operating divisions while also producing strong financial returns. In 2017, Lam, alongside Dick Parsons (the former CEO of Time Warner Inc.), founded Imagination Capital (www.imaginationvc.com), an early stage venture capital fund targeting esports, digital media and big data/machine learning. Her inspiration stemmed from a desire to improve the diversity equation of decision makers at venture firms, making Imagination Capital one of the only venture capital firms whose founding partners are an Asian American woman and an African American man. Rachel also serves on the Board of Directors of Telaria (NYSE: TLRA), a leading independent video sell-side software platform, and is a member of the Board of Directors for The Center for Reproductive Rights.
