Head of Events
Lux CapitalCheck size: Not applicable to Nat's events role. Lux invests across stages, but no personal allocation authority or check size belongs to this profile. Founder financing pitches should go to Lux's investment team.
Nat designs the convening layer around Lux's frontier-science and technology network. Her work brings together founders, researchers, executives, investors, journalists and creative leaders in focused formats such as AI, AI-biology and health-intelligence summits. The operating thesis is that carefully curated, content-rich gatherings create trust, knowledge exchange and useful founder connections. It is a platform thesis, not a personal investment thesis.
For events: a precise audience and outcome, participants with real expertise, programming that creates unexpected cross-disciplinary exchange, thoughtful production, high-signal conversation, and formats where founders leave with knowledge or relationships they could not easily obtain elsewhere.
No investment pass criteria are public. Founder deal pitches sent to Nat as an investor are misrouted. Event proposals are weak when they optimize for headcount over relevance, lack a clear participant outcome, repeat generic panels, obscure the audience or ask, or fail to respect speakers' and attendees' time.
Do not send Nat a financing pitch. For a Lux event or community proposal, specify the audience, founder or portfolio value, topic and why it is timely, ideal participants, format, desired interaction, location and timing, budget or partner needs, and the concrete outcome attendees should leave with. Route investment opportunities to Lux's deal team.
Define who must be in the room, the unique problem or question, desired interaction and the specific knowledge or relationship participants should leave with.
Curate adjacent experts across science, engineering, policy, capital and culture so the program produces insight unavailable inside one professional silo.
Use a focused audience, sharp topic and designed interaction to create more founder value than a large generic gathering.
Treat Nat as a community and convening leader and route capital requests to a listed Lux investment partner.

“Proud to be part of the Lux Capital team.”
