Shana Fisher is the Managing Partner of High Line Venture Partners, a New York based venture fund focused on early stage investments. Her most shining portfolio company is Pinterest, which is now worth multiple billions. But when Fisher found it in 2010, hardly anyone knew it existed. Fisher saw Pinterest had few users but unusually high engagement numbers. She cut Ben Silbermann, its CEO, a check and the company has gone on to raise $338 million.

From December 2003 to June 2010, Fisher served as IAC's Senior Vice President, Strategic Planning & Mergers and Acquisitions, and prior to that as the Senior Vice President of Business Operations for IAC. Previously, Fisher served as Vice President and Director, Media and Technology Mergers and Acquisitions and Corporate Finance for Allen & Company, LLC. In this capacity she led principle investments and advised publicly traded technology firms, private telecommunications firms and media companies. Prior to Allen & Company, LLC., Ms. Fisher was a program manager for the Microsoft Corporation.

Fisher received her B.A. from Hampshire College with a triple major in Sculpture, Philosophy and Linguistics and attended the Master of Arts program at New York University's ITP.
