About
Krista Moatz co-founded POPSUGAR and scaled it from a hobby blog to a global brand reaching 100M+ monthly users before its sale, bringing rare "zero to large consumer brand" operator experience to her venture investing at Sugar Capital. She focuses on high-margin, replenishable everyday products with specific financial guardrails (high-60% gross margins, less than 20% revenue on paid acquisition) and looks for brands that create authentic content and build organic communities before adding paid marketing—an approach directly informed by POPSUGAR's media background.
