I want to invest in more CPG and beverage companies.
Is anyone raising right now?

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

The best part of building a venture firm without any prior VC experience is having zero preconceived notions of how it should be done. It's also the worst part.

Long. Consumer. Social.

[Alexandre Yazdi @YazdiAlexandre]

I’m thrilled to announce that @BeReal_App is now part of @VoodooPlatform.

@BeReal_App is the most successful social app launched in nearly a decade.
They have created a unique behavior: sharing authentic content with true friends, and a visionary app, where every user is an active participant and not a passive consumer of content.

On @BeReal_App , there is no fear of being judged, and no need for time-consuming efforts of crafting a perfect façade.
Their success shows users crave this type of format, as a large portion of their 40 million active users use BeReal more than 6 days a week.

We believe we can push this mission to bring authentic connections to more users everywhere in the world.
@VoodooPlatform's main strength is to help great products and ideas reach the best possible life and scale they deserve, with all the growth technologies and skills we’ve developed over the past 10 years. We’re excited to bring these skills to @BeReal_App, and to welcome their talented team.

Special thanks to the @BeReal_App team for trusting us, and thanks to all @VoodooPlatform employees who made this possible.

Now our common goal is to build the next iconic social network, with authenticity at its core 🔥

Being able to drive value to the venture ecosystem through curated events has been so rewarding both conversationally and value add. Our latest iteration of “A TechWeek Breakfast” highlighted female founders and funders #BreakingBarriersofVC @a16z @Techweek_ @spanventures

Last night, I had the pleasure of hosting our latest Bulletpitch Industry Dinner—a sushi-making experience bringing together top-tier founders and investors. A big thank you to @FidelityPrivate for powering the event and to @MikeWolkon's Night Inn Experience for their fantastic curation.

If you are a founder or funder based in NYC, I would love to have you to the next one.

[Brett @brettperl]

I think it’s so interesting when VCs pass on companies and then give feedback that clearly suggests that they just didn’t understand the company, market, etc.

I think the best VCs are the ones unafraid of asking questions or not knowing everything.

After all, founders are the experts in their respective domains.

[SPANVentures. @spanventures]

Excited to share our next event, “Did VC’s get it Right!” on April 9. Come listen to a dynamic panel of a few NYC based VCs chat about last year’s market predictions and how they’ve fared through Q1 of 2024.

Cant control most things but you can control your output. Simply outwork everyone for a long period of time.
