Episode description
Vice Clauses, remnants of America's Protestant prudishness, prevent most VC firms from investing in lucrative, growing industries like cannabis, sextech, and alcoholic beverages. We were able to sit down with Vice Ventures founder Catharine Dockery to discuss how she carves out a competitive edge by exclusively investing in these underfunded, good businesses operating in "bad" industries. Check out the episode to hear Catharine's own vice, how Mark Andreessen of a16z responded to her cold email, and the future of harm reduction technologies.
