At this SheWorx Breakfast, we sit down with Stephanie Palmeri, Partner of Uncork Capital, one of the most prominent early stage VCs in Silicon Valley. Some of the questions we hope to address are: What are the biggest mistakes founders make when growing from just founders to building a team? What are best practices for pitching realistic yet ambitious revenue projections? How do you create operational processes that scale? As an investor & operator, what kinds of companies are most interesting to you now?
