If you haven’t already heard via Twitter & LinkedIn, I’m super excited to announce that I’ve joined the Headline Ventures team as a Consumer Investor. Headline is a 25 year old international fund with offices in SF, London, Berlin, Paris, Sao Paolo, Taipei, and Tokyo. We’re early stage and growth stage investors! Our portfolio includes Bumble, GoPuff, Acorns, Cameo, Farfetch, and many more.
A lot of you know that I’ve been operating within the VC ecosystem as a startup operator and founder for the past decade or so. Joining a fund with an incredible legacy has been so rewarding and I can’t wait to continue making an impact in the NYC VC ecosystem. I’ll be in SF for the first time next week visiting our offices, let me know if you’ll be around :)
If you’re a consumer tech founder (including e-comm, b2b2c, marketplaces, etc.) and anticipate raising a round in the next year (before 2025) reply to this email or email [email protected]! I’d love to learn more :)
Bare with me as I get through the 900+ replies I got from the last edition!
