UT-alumna Anke Huiskes is the founding partner of Aletta Angels, an angel investment collective investing in female-led startups. She started her career in FMCG at Procter & Gamble in the Netherlands and moved to San Francisco in 2013 where she joined Pebble Smartwatch as their Head of European Sales. While at Pebble she started as a part-time analyst at an Angel Investment Group focusing on Health Tech and this is how she got into angel investing and created a passion for (women’s) health. After Pebble, she joined Willow Pump, the world’s best-funded women’s health company to date with $155M in funding, as their first commercial employee to launch the world’s first wearable breast pump.
