Meet Us

Rachel produces podcasts and runs marketing for investors and startups. While she’s not running around the city with far too many microphones and hard drives, she enjoys trying out different coffee shops and going on runs.

Lauren is an early-stage investor at the DUMBO-based VC, Blue Collective. While she’s not looking for the next big startup and charming founders with her Irish accent, she can be found hopping around downtown restaurants, writing or at the Metrograph watching old movies.

Lastly, thank you for reading, hanging out in real life, and being a valued part of this community. Write to us! Let us know what you want and tell us how we can improve

Lots of love,

Lauren & Rachel
