Why Daily Life is the Next Trillion-Dollar Frontier for Investing
Join Alumni Ventures Partners Bozhena Kulchyckyj and Charlotte Jenkins for a forward-looking discussion on how everyday experiences—from commuting and caregiving to food delivery and personal finance—are being transformed by innovative startups.
This session will explore why “daily life” has become one of the most fertile and overlooked categories for venture capital and how early-stage companies are building massive value by solving mundane but essential consumer pain points. Bozhena and Charlotte will share how AV identifies and backs these opportunities, with examples from current and past portfolio investments that are shaping the future of how we live. You’ll gain insights into consumer tech trends, category-creating companies, and how venture capital can unlock value at the intersection of utility, emotion, and convenience.

About your presenters
Bozhena Kulchyckyj is an Investment Associate at Alumni Ventures, where she supports venture investments across a range of sectors and stages. Prior to joining Alumni Ventures, Bozhena managed Boston College’s entrepreneurial network, where she led accelerator programs, venture competitions, and founder workshops to support early-stage startups and student entrepreneurs.

Senior Associate
Charlotte brings a founder-aligned, execution-first mindset to venture investing. At Alumni Ventures, she leverages her background as an operator to back early-stage teams building the next wave of intelligent software. She thrives in the earliest stages—where velocity matters, ambiguity is high, and momentum is earned through tight feedback loops and rapid learning.
Before joining AV, Charlotte helped build and scale startups across AI and consumer sectors. At a pre-seed AI-native company, she helped shape core strategy and operations from the ground up. At a food-tech venture, she led market expansion and launched a new business line during a high-stakes COVID pivot. These experiences shaped her belief in the power of clarity, grit, and structured iteration—the traits she now looks for and supports in founders.
Charlotte is particularly drawn to technologies that simplify complexity and empower users to act with greater intention. She seeks out products that are both behaviorally resonant and operationally sharp—and partners best with founders who value speed, depth, and grounded insight. Fund Actively Worked On:

Investment Areas of Focus:
Charlotte focuses on Intent-to-Action Infrastructure—software that bridges the gap between user intent and real-world execution. Her thesis centers on Agentic AI: systems that plan, coordinate, and act on behalf of users across fragmented tools, routines, and workflows. She believes this will be the next major layer of the AI stack, transforming both enterprise operations and everyday consumer behavior.
She is particularly drawn to categories with high friction, frequent use, and low-stakes decision-making—contexts where agentic systems can build trust, drive adoption, and generate durable behavioral moats. Her work spans business software, commerce, and life infrastructure, with an eye toward AI-native platforms that prioritize outcomes over interfaces.
