Valentina Escudero

San Francisco, CA

At Amazon Devices, I started a program connecting product and engineering teams directly with startups. I’m currently working with startups in consumer hardware, agentic software, voice AI, and BCI.
Personally, I am interested in the great compute and data buildout of the 2020s. I’m based in San Francisco, CA. Find me on X and LinkedIn.

Previously

Invested in data and AI at M12, Microsoft’s venture fund.
Studied Philosophy and Economics at Penn.

If you’re a VC or founder working on consumer, agentic experiences, next gen sensors, ambient compute, data collection, or data center/compute, let’s collab.

Lore

Punching BagI slept on an old mattress on the floor of the spare room of my grandma’s house, which my dad dressed up with a pair of clean sheets. I was 12 years old and being around my grandma’s house with no internet was pure inertia. It felt like the Place that Time Forgot. No wifi, no TV, only a bunch of plants and trinkets and half-knitted entities.Request access to read

the problem with many art x technology events is that neither the art nor the technology is very good
