## About

Anna Ott guides talent strategy and organizational design for tech startups. As VP People at HV Capital, she acts as an organizational anthropologist—spotting patterns across 200 portfolio companies to help founders build stronger teams.

In her panel on the [unpredictable costs of AI](/videos/100163-unpredictable-costs-of-ai-vs-predictable-cost-of-humans), she breaks down how companies balance expensive token budgets against traditional human payroll. She lives in Berlin.
