We sat down with Ashley Mayer, the communications powerhouse behind some of the biggest names in tech like Box, Social Capital, and Glossier, Inc. But she didn’t stop there - she’s made the leap into venture capital, co-founding Coalition Operators, a $12.5M early-stage fund with a mission to connect top-tier operators with founders. We talk about her transition from corporate comms to fund management, how she pitched Thrive Capital and General Catalyst to become anchor LPs, the challenges of building a fund from scratch, and how Coalition is helping founders build cap tables that go beyond capital, and creating networks of value-driven investors.
