Seed to Harvest is a podcast focused on stories & tactics from a diverse array of investors, founders, and creators, hosted by Paige Finn Doherty, a founding partner at Behind Genius Ventures and author of Seed to Harvest, an illustrated children's book for adults.
Today, I’m joined by Gale Wilkinson, General Partner at Vitalize VC. After graduating with her degree in marketing, she consulted CPG companies on new product launches. After starting two businesses, she started an angel network in 2012, launched Vitalize Fund I in 2017 and has since invested in 100+ companies, deploying over $65M in capital. Now she is a Transact Global member, Kauffman Fellow, and passionate about democratizing access to angel investing.
