Elizabeth Pollard builds at the intersection of capital, innovation, and redemption. A Silicon Valley C-suite veteran turned Oklahoma catalyst, she has spent two decades bridging biotech, government, and venture — believing transformation happens when unlikely people and places collide. In 2018, she and her husband traded San Francisco certainty for Oklahoma possibility, drawn by a conviction that redemptive entrepreneurship could reshape economies and a belief that God’s power shows up most clearly at the edges.
“Transformation happens when unlikely people and unlikely places collide. I’ve built my life around showing up at those intersections — in business, in faith, and in the lives of the leaders I coach.”
As Oklahoma’s former Cabinet Secretary of Science and Innovation, Elizabeth helped steer $225M in technology and economic investment, authored the state’s innovation strategy, and testified before the US House Science, Space, and Technology Committee. Today she serves as Venture Partner at iGrow Venture Partners — sourcing and backing disruptive health and deep-tech companies globally — and as a connector with Cultivate OKC, building community among entrepreneurs who see business as ministry. As a Brave Coach and Consultant, Elizabeth brings this rare blend of operating experience, board governance, venture insight, and faith-grounded leadership to executives and organizations ready to build something that matters.
