My guest this week is Chris Van Dusen, a Senior Partner at Solyco Capital, a vertically integrated PE/VC firm providing capital and operational support to late-stage startups and growth companies. With over $20M in marketing leadership experience, he helped drive a $75M exit as Chief Growth Officer at Balanced Health Botanicals and has worked across high-growth sectors from CBD to CPG and spirits. Chris also co-founded Surf City Still Works, raising $3.7M and scaling it into a 25,000 sq ft production facility—the first of its kind in Orange County. A former founder, operator, and marketing agency leader, he brings deep expertise in capital strategy, brand growth, and building companies from the ground up.
