Marcy invests in consumer businesses and mass-market brands that resonate with culture across products and services, media, and technology. Tasha heads up a lot of the firms' sourcing and evaluation efforts, and she also regularly shares her thoughts through her Substack.
In this talk, we ask Tasha about:
Her co-authored consumer trends report and the findings from that piece
Collaborating on external projects with other investors
Social 3.0 and the ability to interact with online brands and influencers
The intangible value of brand-led communities
