The $25M fund betting on vice with Vice Ventures Founder, Catharine Dockery

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.  LINKS WE MENTION: Vice Ventures  Vice Ventures Instagram  Female Startup Club  In partnership with Klaviyo, the best email marketing tool for ecommerce businesses. 📱 Join 160K smart chicks in the Female Startup Club universe: → Use code 'FSC' for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc → Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub → Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin → Get opportunities delivered to your inbox 3x weekly here: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/ Hosted on Acast.
