“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.
