@sophiaamoruso We’d love to learn more!

Who are the best CPG investors in the game? Asking for a killer founder.

Its always nice to learn more about the person behind the business. We sat down with our Founder @TessaFlippin to ask her a few questions and get her perspective on life, VC World and the future of capitalize!

Our Founder @TessaFlippin will be speaking on one of the panels thank you to @GoTechChicago for having us! If you haven't already gotten your ticket, click the link below👇 🔗 bit.ly/capsummitticket

“Grit seems to be an unfortunately rare characteristic of investors…They do not always have the entrepreneurial drive of their portfolio founders…” Thank you @SterSchuyler for telling my story and sharing my goals for @CapitalizeVC!

After building a crypto remittance solution in LatAm in 2016, @TessaFlippin struggled to find pre-seed/seed investors in the region. So she became a VC herself. Learn more about her and @CapitalizeVC ⬇️ (thanks @ArlanWasHere for the intro!) sterlingschuyler.substack.com/p/room-for-mor…
