Hoffman started with Cultivation Capital in 2015 while earning her MBA from WashU Olin.&＃160; While a student, Hoffman took classes from Cultivation cofounder&＃160;Cliff Holekamp, MBA 2001, who was also an Olin entrepreneurship professor at the time. &＃8220;Elise was one of the most motivated and accomplished students I had the pleasure to teach at Olin,&＃8221; said Holekamp.&＃160;&＃8220;She came into Olin and embraced and excelled at everything entrepreneurship. Elise founded an entrepreneurial fellowship program, interned at a St. Louis startup, won a venture capital competition, and led just about every student project team&＃8212;always earning the A.&＃8221; Hoffman interned with&＃160;Cultivation Capital&＃160;before accepting a full-time offer as a principal focusing on the firm&＃8217;s life science investments upon graduating in 2016. &＃8220;It has been an honor to work alongside innovators and entrepreneurs who are advancing groundbreaking technologies, creating jobs and building our economy,&＃8221; Hoffman said. &＃8220;I have learned a great deal from my mentors and colleagues at Cultivation Capital, who&＃8212;driven by our mission of &＃8216;thriving enterprises, vibrant communities&＃8217;&＃8212;are working to infuse capital into our startup ecosystem.&＃8221; As a principal, Hoffman ran weekly partner meetings, helped with capital formation and managed relationships with portfolio companies including serving on the board of Healthy Bytes and as a board observer at ImageMover and NarrativeDx. In her new role, Hoffman will serve as manager of a venture capital fund and as an equity partner in a fund, raising capital, making all the investment decisions and managing the portfolio companies. It is highly unusual for someone to make GP at Elise&＃8217;s age and it is a major accomplishment. &＃160; Cliff Holekamp Holekamp noted that only 11% of venture capital partners are women. Hoffman is the second employee in the firm&＃8217;s history to be elevated to general partner, following Kyle Welborn, who became a general partner in the Yield Lab in 2016.&＃160; She is the first female general partner at Cultivation Capital focused on health tech and the life sciences. &＃160;&＃160; &＃8220;Elise has done a fantastic job managing her duties with investors, with the portfolio and collaborating with the partners.&＃160;She has developed all the skills necessary to now succeed as a general partner,&＃8221; said Bill Schmidt, Cultivation Capital leader for life sciences.&＃160; Outside of work, Elise is active in the entrepreneurship community as well as at WashU, where she serves as a director of the&＃160;Holekamp Seed Fund&＃160;as well as an investor in residence with the&＃160;Skandalaris Center for Interdisciplinary Innovation and Entrepreneurship. &＃8220;As a general partner, I look forward to investing in promising healthcare companies, particularly those that are solving pressing problems that have been exposed during the COVID-19 pandemic,&＃8221; Hoffman said.
