Erica Wenger

3x Founder/Operator turned VC & Consultant

I'm a serial entrepreneur/early operator (3x founder, 2nd employee twice) with an exit under my belt and a passion to help founders doing it for the first time. My expertise lies in operations, storytelling/marketing, & community-building. I currently live in LA but am moving to NYC in a couple months!

I'm currently raising my first VC fund, hosting the Dear Twentysomething podcast, and consulting with amazing startups and funds.
