Cheryl Cheng of Blue Run Ventures joins Nick to discuss The Gen-Z Consumer, Real-Time Health Data, and Persistent Top Fund Returns. In this episode, we cover: Cheryl's background in retail marketing and innovation while you were with Clorox and The Sharper Image. How did that lead to your career in venture? On your website it says, "WE HELP ENTREPRENEURS BUILD MAGICAL COMPANIES,"... how specifically do you help? Talk to me about about the Gen-Z folks... this is part of your focus at BRV... what are the high-level characteristics of this coveted consumer segment? Are founders adjusting their approach to tech to better serve this group? How the evolution of mobile apps and real time data has influenced the health and consumer industries? You recently spoke on a panel about acquisitions... can you talk a bit about what it takes to build a company that's well-positioned for an exit? Talk to me about Equity Summit coming up in January... what is it, what was the genesis and what are you hoping to accomplish? This year Prequin reported that BRV is one of the most consistently high performing firms in venture... I know that you've been at this for ten years now at Blue Run... what are some of the key factors that have led to your sustained success? I came across your recent article on succession planning and it had me a bit worried... are you planning leaving the industry anytime soon?
