Bio

Carolyn Edelstein is OpenBiome’s Executive Director. She previously worked at Development Innovation Ventures, a program at USAID designed to fund ideas that could improve millions of lives in more cost-effective ways than standard international development approaches. Carolyn helped launch the Global Innovation Fund, a $200M multilateral development fund built on the DIV model, before co-founding OpenBiome.
