Aubrie Pagano is a former literature major turned venture investor who self-funded her first company by working at Fidelity and aggressively saving, then built and sold the cult-favorite customizable fashion brand Bow & Drape. She brings unusually deep hands-on expertise in e-commerce supply chains and omnichannel retail operations to her investing, while using her humanities background and narrative thinking to assess brands with magnetic, fan-like followings rather than relying solely on spreadsheets.
