What this episode covers

Joining me on the show today is Catharine Dockery, the founder behind Vice Ventures. A fund that invests in early stage startups from non-traditional verticals including cannabis, alcohol, CBD, e-sports, addiction recovery and sextech. Catharine was going through a series of interviews for new jobs in the world of VC and was pitching in an alcohol brand only to be met with the same feedback on repeat; every fund has a vice clause. And basically that meant that whether or not the opportunity was major, they couldn’t invest. And that’s how Vice Ventures was born.
