This week we had on Ariana Thacker of Conscience VC.
Conscience is an early-stage fund investing at the intersection of consumer and science. The fund backs pre-seed and seed companies within this thesis, and it tries to be the first check written when it has the chance. Ariana is the founding partner of the fund, and she wears many hats in her role.
In this talk, we discuss:
- Tactical advice on raising a first-time fund without an existing network
- Standing out through authenticity
- Deal breakers when evaluating founding teams
- Why Conscience is betting on the intersection of science and consumer
