Chelsea Zhang

Chelsea is an investor at Equal Ventures. Previously, she was at L.E.K. Consulting, a strategy consulting firm, where she focused on advising corporations and private equity firms on growth and M&A strategy within consumer retail. On secondment from L.E.K., she worked on the Museum team at the Obama Foundation to help build the new Obama Presidential Center. Chelsea first encountered venture in college, when she took a year off to work at a VC-backed company in the kids’ media space.

Chelsea started her Equal journey as an MBA intern during her first year at Wharton (graduation year pending…) but she did complete an Economics BA at the University of Chicago. She splits her spare time between lurking on sports Twitter, consuming sci-fi novels, and getting to Inbox Zero.
