Get down to business with TikTok’s favorite VC advisor Maggie Sellers as she gets real on why launching a brand is not for everyone. In this episode, the Canadian entrepreneur, angel investor, and content creator shares how she paved her own lane without a traditional VC background and is now bringing her online community into their “hot, smart, rich” era. Having invested in and advised brands like NudeStix, Deux, Ohza, and more, Maggie is helping drive the consumer brands we love through talent partnerships and fundraising strategies alike. Tune in for her must-have criteria before angel investing, how celebrity brands are disrupting the market, and why launching a brand is totally glamorized—and a real look at the grunt work behind a successful biz.
