Hi! I’m Marissa.

I’m Marissa Moore, a Principal at OMERS Ventures & creator of The Green Room, equal parts tech & vino enthusiast, animal lover, proud mom to a baby girl, and a native New Englander finally back east after several years in the Bay (go Pats!).

This site is a home for my world of work and passion projects. I use it to organize and share my thoughts, promote events, and create opportunities to connect. It’s also where you can sign up to join in any or all of the above.

My journey so far

I grew up on the South Shore of Boston, where I learned the proper way to break down a lobster, how to use “wicked” as an all-purpose adjective, and to embrace the highs and lows of being a Boston sports fan. An overachiever at heart, I juggled AP classes, sports, music, and part-time work before earning my AB in Molecular Biology from Princeton University. Though I started my career in institutional equity sales, drawn by the energy of Wall Street and a desire to stretch beyond my comfort zone, I remained fascinated by scientific discovery and emerging technologies. That curiosity has shaped a career spanning public markets, startup and venture capital research, and venture investing.

Along the way, I completed dual master's degrees at Johns Hopkins University while working full time, driven by a desire to deepen my understanding of science, technology, and innovation. Each chapter— from being an early employee at a startup research firm to researching the emergence of telehealth during the pandemic —sharpened my ability to recognize technological inflection points and develop conviction as markets evolve.

Today, I invest in AI and frontier technologies at OMERS Ventures, where I have the privilege of partnering with ambitious founders building category-defining companies. I love learning, meeting exceptional people, and developing investment theses around emerging technology markets. Whether evaluating a single company or exploring an entirely new industry, I'm always searching for exceptional founders and ideas with the potential to define the future.
