26-year-old Alexa von Tobel had her pick of venture capitalists to
fund LearnVest, a New York startup that is developing a personal
finance Web site aimed at women in their 20s. She chose Silicon
Valley's Accel Partners to lead LearnVest's recent $4.5 million
Series A round and partner Theresia Gouw Ranzetta to join the
company's board. In this video interview with The Deal, von Tobel
says that in Ranzetta, she gained a VC who sits on the boards of
Glam Media and Trulia and is as passionate about LearnVest's
mission to educate women about money as she is herself. Watch the
