👋 Hey everyone!

I’m Annie Ripp, and I’m working with Brian here at WGM part-time. I’m excited to meet you all and get to know the WGM community!

I’ve spent the past several years in the health and wellness space as an investor, helping early-stage founders of wellness and health tech startups grow and scale. I’ve led venture operations at four VC funds, including most recently at Antler and Wildwood Ventures.

Outside of investing, I’m the founder of Let’s Feel Good (LFG), a modern wellness brand and podcast.

I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone here and learning more about what you’re working on. I would love to hop on a call and connect. I’m dropping my Calendly here, so please don’t hesitate to book sometime or reach out to me directly!

I’m especially excited to find ways to support you and help you get the most out of WGM. If there are any ways I can support in the meantime, feel free to reach out!

we're all really lucky to have you help make WGM even better than it is already 🙂

HIGH recommend to grab some time with Annie to chat about WGM and meet another kind/generous person!
