Q&A
Don’t give up on something until you’ve hit a wall at least ten times. Building breakthrough brands often requires running headlong into roadblocks and flying in the face of convention. That takes a healthy dose of optimism, passion, and just plain doggedness.
Nothing builds trust better than showing – not telling – that we are a value added partner. While many investors say they contribute know-how and contacts, we often show up to our very first meeting with an entrepreneur with insights from a consumer survey, assessments of their competitors, or even a complete digital audit. Our job is to work for entrepreneurs and their teams, not the other way around.
My family is far and away my greatest accomplishment. My husband, Dan, and I were college sweethearts and now we’re blessed to have three children who inspire and amaze us every day. They also happen to be great brand scouts!
