At this year’s NYC Awards Night, we had the privilege of recognizing several women shaping the future of growth investing.

Congratulations to Danielle Waldman, Principal at Silversmith Capital Partners, on being named Woman Leader of the Year in Growth Investing.

Danielle joined Silversmith in 2020 and partners with founders building best-in-class software and technology businesses, particularly those solving customer problems with deep domain insight. She has a particular interest in AI-native and AI-enabled businesses, as well as applying AI capabilities to traditional software companies, with investment experience spanning developer tools, IT and security software, higher education technology, and other industry verticals.

At Silversmith, Danielle has led investments in CollegeVine, Gearset, GiveCampus, Proven Optics, and Worldly. Prior to joining the firm, she was a private equity investor at Vector Capital focused on infrastructure software and vertical applications, and earlier in her career worked at Morgan Stanley in the Media & Communications Investment Banking group.

While accepting the award, Danielle shared: “I love my job so much and the reason for that is I get to partner with some of the most exceptional CEOs and founders in the world. And work alongside them as they’re building these big and important businesses that are solving real customer problems and the privilege to work alongside them and support them on that journey is something that I take so much appreciation in.”

Please join us in congratulating Danielle Waldman on this well-deserved recognition.

The next GrowthCap Forum event will take place this summer in Jackson Hole, WY. Learn more here.
