Currently, we see the most compelling missions in physical production (embodied innovation) and human connection (the evolution of AI-driven consumer experiences). We get our hands dirty. Don’t take our word for it, ask our founders
THE IMPATIENT CREW
Angèle Sahraoui
Angèle joined Impatient in 2026 as the firm’s first investor. She spent the previous three years as an early-stage investor at Slow Ventures, where she helped build the firm’s deep and hard tech practice and led its work on physical-world themes spanning energy, maritime, the low-altitude economy, and more.
Angèle graduated cum laude from the Dual BA Program between Sciences Po Paris and Columbia University, where she majored in Financial Economics and also studied sociology, political science, and international relations.
Outside of work, you’ll most likely find her on a 10-mile walk somewhere in nature, at a jazz club with friends, or planning her next trip home to France.
Jack Dreifuss
Jack Dreifuss is the Founder and General Partner of Impatient Ventures, where he backs founders with relentless drive and clarity of vision. Before launching Impatient as a solo GP, Jack was a professional online poker player, a hedge fund analyst, a two-time zero-to-one operator with successful exits at SimpleLegal (CRO) and Bolt (CSO), and a 2x venture backed failed founder.
Outside of Impatient, you can find him obsessively tracking his health metrics (h/t a-list.com), cruising Venice in his lifted golf cart named Jodi, making music, hosting dinners at the restaurants he’s a partner in (Carmel in West Hollywood, Kitchen in the desert in Joshua Tree), or competing in the World Series of Poker in Vegas.
Madeline Steitz
Madeline Steitz is an experienced executive assistant and operator with a proven track record supporting UHNWIs, A-list clients, and leaders in venture capital, luxury, and consumer goods.

Known for her discretion, creativity, and precision, she excels in high-level administration, strategic operations, and event management, bringing people, projects, and ideas together to thrive.
Outside of her work in venture, Madeline is also an accomplished chef and baker, infusing the same artistry and attention to detail into her cooking as she does into her professional life.
