🙋Name:
📍Location: Danville, CA
💼Current Role: Founder, Rootspring Ventures. General Partner, Redbud Ventures. I invest in highly differentiated early-stage consumer / health & wellness companies. I also have some fractional CFO roles.
🎯Hobbies: Spending time with my family (2 young kids), squash, cooking, rope flow, skiing.
💬Topics You’re Interested in Connecting About: I am generally fascinated by biology. Companies with defensible IP / patents, unique ingredients / supply chain, or network effects. Blurry consumer categories that have potential to become mainstream.
🤝How You Can Help WGM: I have invested in both very large companies (PE / public companies) and very small / pre-launch companies. I understand the products / services and strategies that drive a brand to endure through cycles. I help founders with fundraise storytelling / strategy, unit-level economics, how investors measure and look at retention statistics, etc.
✨How WGM Can Help You: Meeting great people and companies who share my passion for health & wellness topics.
welcome!! rope flow looks really cool. what company do you use to do it??
Hi and welcome! I'm a hobby gardener and when you listed "squash" as a hobby, I literally thought you meant the veggie 😂 Would love to pick your brain about raise strategy - especially if you have any good playbooks or connections!
Where are you skiing this year!?
@Brian Von Ancken I bought a rope from and saw a few tutorials from Nsima Inyang's at Skool. Happy to chat more about it offline.

Welcome Asher - also here in SF Bay
great to have you here <@U0A7G1BEU77>
<@U0A4KT4D1FA> We're attempting to take our 1 and 3yr old up to Tahoe to ski and see some family up there. Mostly mid-week to avoid the wkd crowds. You?
<@U0A7G1BEU77> which mountain in Tahoe!? I have family up near Heavenly. I'm trying to plan something in UT or CO!
