Emma Silverman is a Partner at TMV, where she leads the firm's Health + Bio practice. Shaped by a family deeply rooted in medicine and a career spent building companies from the ground up, Emma brings both personal conviction and hard-won operator experience to the founders she backs.
Prior to joining TMV, Emma served on the executive team at Truebird Coffee, where she led bizops and growth. Before Truebird, she was the first hire at Flamingo, the inaugural brand launched by Harry's Labs, where she oversaw the nationwide launch at Target and led consumer insights and product innovation. Emma began her career as a consultant at Bain & Company, working across the Private Equity Group, Retail, and Industrials on due diligence, growth strategy, and organizational design. She studied English, Creative Writing, and Economics at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating summa cum laude in 2015.
At TMV, Emma works closely with portfolio founders on go-to-market, team building, and fundraising, bringing a founder's mindset and a strategic operator's lens to every engagement. She has been central to building out TMV's Health + Bio investment thesis and advisor network.
Outside of work, Emma is an avid runner - you'll find most mornings running on the Williamsburg waterfront. She's a committed brand loyalist who advocates for her favorites over the long haul (rarely spotted without a Spindrift in hand). She is also the kind of person who listens to the same song on repeat to get work done - find her on most flights on her laptop listening to Hans Zimmer’s “Time” on a loop.
