  • Kleida Martiro climbed the ranks from associate to Glasswing Ventures partner in four years.
  • She's been investing in artificial intelligence startups long before the hype reached a fever pitch.
  • More than half of the investing partners at Glasswing are women after Martiro's promotion. 

Four years ago, before the ink had dried on her business school diploma, Kleida Martiro accepted an associate role at a brand-new venture firm in Boston. The firm, Glasswing Ventures, had just closed its first fund at $112 million to invest in artificial intelligence and security startups, and had only its two founders and an associate on the team.
