June 7, 2021
On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt, Montel talks with Catharine Dockery, a founding partner at Vice Ventures, a venture capital fund investIng in early-stage vice companies. She founded Vice Ventures at just 26 years old after repeatedly brushing against vice clauses at investment pitches which prohibited investments in traditionally “bad for you” sectors such as cannabis, alcohol, sex-tech, CBD, and more, culminatIng in the idea for the fund which exclusively invests in these sectors. Formerly an investment banker and a chief of staff for Bonobo’s co-founder Andy Dunn, she has raised $25 million from family offices and high-profile investors like Marc Andreessen and Bradley Tusk. She was featured on Forbes 30-under-30 list and has appeared on Bloomberg, CSQ, Ganjapreneur, and many more.
