Julia
Govberg
Hi, I’m Julia. I went to UPenn, spent five years at First Round Capital first building community, then working alongside Bill Trenchard as Chief of Staff evaluating investments and helping founders. Now I’m Chief of Staff at Clay, I also angel invest in people I believe in. This is my website. I made it myself.
“She played an amazing Eeyore.”

My Manifesto
When I was a kid, a tree fell through my bedroom. Not metaphorically. An actual tree. Through the actual roof. Into the actual room where I slept.
It was terrifying. It was formative. It left a mark — the kind that doesn’t show up on an X-ray but shows up everywhere else. In how I move through the world. In what I notice. In the fact that I will never, ever take a solid roof for granted.
But I came back. Stronger, more grounded, and with a genuinely profound appreciation for the ordinary moments most people scroll past. A warm dinner. A good conversation. A bedroom with an intact ceiling.
Nothing is guaranteed. Not even the walls around you. That’s the point.

What People Are Saying
“Julia walked into the room and I thought: that is a person who has walked into many rooms. She had clearly done this before.”
“We are so proud of you and all of your accomplishments!!! You light up our lives with your love, selflessness, joy and wonderful spirit!!”
“She read from the Torah and I was there. She did a great job. I don’t really know what else to say. She was very prepared.”
