Here’s what our founders have to say.
"Stevie and Ian are among the most helpful investors I've ever worked with and I'd recommend them to any founder. Their mix of operating and regulatory experience has been enormously helpful in shaping our regulatory strategy, they've made countless intros to prospective partners."
Vol 1 Ventures is the next level of VC. Stevie has worked with me for years to help me build teams, execute my vision, and ultimately be the best CEO that I can be for the company. Always willing to be a listening ear and a guiding hand she understands what founders of color go through and she's open to making the journey easier.
Vol. 1 Ventures have been a major value-add to Couplet on a personal founder level and professional level. Stevie and Ian provide deep legal expertise, and general startup support and connections that go a long way. Stevie's strong personal track record in consumer goods investing and startup building has been exponentially helpful to us at Couplet, as well as Ian's experience in stellar community building and high-growth newsletter building.
Without Ian there might not have been a Party Round. Before we had even incorporated, Ian helped us think through the opportunity and meet all the right people to execute on it. He made critical intros to potential hires, infrastructure players and other investors that have collectively been instrumental to our success to date.
Ian & Stevie aren't even investors in Truework but have been tremendously helpful—helping find and recruit great talent, intro's to growth funds, and leveraging their distribution and network to promote the Truework brand. If we were raising our preseed now, Vol. 1 would be at the top of our list of investors."
