Jenny Stojkovic Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Jenny Stojkovic is a venture capitalist, former tech lobbyist, and bestselling author who speaks on AI, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Born to working-class immigrant parents in Canada, she built her success from the ground up. From leading global policy for Google, Meta, and Airbnb to co-founding Joyful Ventures, a $25M fund backing purpose-driven founders, Jenny helps leaders navigate change, innovation, and growth. Featured on Good Morning America, Fortune, and Fast Company, she inspires audiences to embrace challenges and lead with confidence.

Jenny Stojkovic didn't grow up with CEO parents, Ivy League connections, or a financial safety net. Raised in a small Canadian farm town by a blind father and a mother who worked as a grocery store cashier, she learned early that nothing is handed to you, you have to build it yourself. That mindset, which she later coined the Why Not Me? philosophy, propelled her from humble beginnings to the heart of Silicon Valley. There, she led global policy work for companies like Google, Meta, and Airbnb and built a reputation as a trusted voice at the intersection of business, technology, and policy. Today, Jenny is one of the youngest female venture capitalists in the U.S., serving as General Partner of Joyful Ventures, and has invested over $25 million into early-stage, values-driven startups. Jenny is a sought-after keynote speaker, known for delivering high-energy, insight-packed talks on artificial intelligence, leadership, innovation, career growth, and the future of work, especially for first-generation professionals and underrepresented talent. Jenny has been featured on Good Morning America, Fortune, and Fast Company, and has spoken on global stages including SXSW, Dreamforce, the United Nations, and Google. She combines deep tech experience with personal storytelling and real-world strategy to help audiences navigate disruption, embrace bold thinking, and lead with clarity, no matter where they start in life.
