# Annie Case

> Annie Case is a Partner (and current Advisor) at Kleiner Perkins, one of Silicon Valley's most storied venture firms, where she backs early-stage founders building in consumer tech, digital health, and enterprise AI. A Stanford-educated defender who won the 2011 NCAA soccer championship, she traded cleats for cap tables after stints at Bain & Company and Uber — where she helped scale UberEats internationally — and has since built a portfolio spanning mental health (Modern Health), AI healthcare infrastructure (Ambience), fitness coaching (Future), and next-generation shopping (Phia). Known for investing at the intersection of human behavior and technology, Case brings rare operator empathy to the boardroom.
