Meet Diana Krantz, investor

Diana is driven by purpose, community, and a sense of adventure. Her mission is to make an impact through bringing investments into alignment with global world needs and a sustainable future for our planet. She strongly believes that the job of an investor comes with a huge responsibility – directly impacting what the future will look like. Her diverse background in venture capital, fund-of-funds investments, capital fundraising and operational start-up experience places her well to be part of a team and organisation with a similar mission and to work in alingment with all stakeholders of 2050.

Diana most recently spent four years at the VC fund Molten Ventures (previously Draper Esprit) in London, focusing on seed and growth stage investments in tech companies across Europe. While there, she sourced and ran the investment processes for NA-KD, $40m round, and Wayve, $25m round. She also sourced five other deals to the IC, which have since become unicorns: Sennder, Hopin, Aiven, Tier and Voi. Diana built out Draper’s brand and network in the Nordics from scratch and headed up the market singlehandedly, while also having multiple sector focuses across Europe (food, impact and mobility amongst others). While at Molten, she also spent time on the Fund of Funds strategy, where she sourced and helped close investments into funds such as ByFounders, Astanor, and Five Seasons, amongst others.
