As one of the youngest women to raise a fund in venture capital, Jenny has broken barriers and invested over $25 million dollars in startups across the world.

Jenny’s WHY NOT ME?® Movement is made up of many experiences with one powerful idea top of mind: helping people stop waiting and start creating what’s next. She challenges audiences to ask one transformative question, “Why not me?” — the same question that turned her own ambition into impact. From a small-town upbringing to investing in founders shaping the future in Silicon Valley, her journey proves what happens when you stop waiting for permission and take action. 

Jenny speaks globally on leadership, AI disruption, and resilience. Her keynote series “Why Not Me?” addresses the challenges teams, entrepreneurs, and organizations face in adapting to a rapidly changing world and provides a winning playbook to not only adapt to change – but thrive through it.

Meet Jenny Stojkovic

No connections. No fancy schools. No roadmap. Just the mindset of “Why Not Me?”

Jenny grew up in a small farm town in Canada, raised by a blind father and a mother who worked as a cashier. She was the first high school graduate in her family. 

At 17 years old, with no college fund, Jenny made an ambitious move that would define the course of her life: she cold-pitched a billionaire to fund her college education. 

He said “yes”. 

Jenny went on to lead public policy for Silicon Valley’s biggest tech companies, launch a global media brand, become a bestselling author, and make history as one of the youngest women to raise a fund in venture capital.

Today, Jenny speaks globally on leadership, disruption, and adaptability.
