Hi, I’m Ben Zises - angel investor, advisor, and fund manager. I am the founder of SuperAngel.Fund which launched in January 2021. (View Deck > http://superangeldeck.com) Prior to starting the fund, I spent six years as an angel investor in 30 companies, including being the first investor and founding advisor to quip (2014), Caraway (2018) & Arber (2020), before each had its name. Among other successes, the first two reached over $100m+ in annual revenue, while the third is pacing for a similar growth trajectory. My focus is on areas where I am most passionate and have an informational, educational, access or network advantage: Consumer (CPG, eCommerce SaaS), PropTech & Future of Work. Earlier in my career I personally experienced the complete lifecycle of building a company, from identifying a problem/market opportunity, to coming up with the “idea”, to painstakingly developing a business plan, product roadmap and executing on it. I've been in a founder's shoes. I know what it is like to leave a stable job, ask friends and family for money, hire and scale a team, and more. My own startup went through its share of ups and downs, launching to widespread industry acclaim and countless press articles, to gaining tens of thousands of users and raising $2m from early investors. I led a team through the process of iterating & pivoting multiple times, pitched hundreds of VC's in NYC & Silicon Valley, and ultimately failed to raise a successive round of funding which resulted in the wind down of my company. These experiences, among others, give me a major competitive advantage over other investors: founder empathy and unique understanding of the startup journey. As an investor, I strive to be one of the first checks (day 0) and leverage my network to bring in other strategic capital and resources in an advisory role. I am often described by founders as their company’s #1 fan, providing unwavering support and dedication for the short, medium, and long-term. Prior to becoming a full time investor, and after my startup winded down, I was the COO at an NYC-based real estate investment and property management firm that scaled from 5 to 100 people, managing over 3,000 residential and commercial units on behalf of dozens of third party clients. I am a graduate of Boston University’s School of Hospitality, a 2x Outward Bound Alum and retired marathoner (1x New York City Marathon). I live and work in Tribeca, NYC with my wife Ashley and two daughters, Sarina and Scarlett. What I offer founders: --Earliest check possible with deep conviction --Massive network to bring in other strategic capital --Operational, sales & team building support --Founder empathy, dedication & loyalty --Prior founder experience to share learnings, provide unfair competitive advantage
I'm a bit of a weir-dough. 🍪 My name is Erica, I am a Canadian entrepreneur who took a passion and turned it into a business. I have spent less than $1500 on marketing in the first 2 years for my protein cookie dough company, Bro Dough. I have grown my social media accounts to over 270k followers combined. In addition to this, I was able to scale my CPG company from a commercial kitchen (and working out of my apartment), to outsourcing all operations (moving to a manufacturer and 3PL). I know what it's like to hustle and I've spent the past two years elbows deep in all aspects of my company, wearing all of the hats. My passion is sharing my knowledge with others and watching them be successful. Let me help you GROW! 🌱

I love building big ideas with brilliant people. In particular, I am passionate about elevating traditional consumer categories through innovation, experience and technology. After graduating from Stanford University, I have spent my career thus far working across large organizations (JP Morgan, Starbucks) as well as start ups at various stages of growth (Munchery, Cabin), each with their own successes and failures. I am also a strategic advisor to early stage companies and a member of Operator's Guild. If I'm not working, you can find me doing something outside (being near the ocean is my happy place) or in the kitchen. I am equal parts sports/fitness enthusiast and indulgent foodie.
I’m a seasoned startup generalist and current COO with experience helping 40+ companies scale, particularly around people and process optimization. I launched a six-figure startup consultancy, worked in VC, and as an early employee at a company that grew from Seed to Series B. I also graduated from Harvard with an AB cum laude in Sociology, a discipline that greatly informs my perspective on people and process. On the people side, I’ve managed talent operations for hundreds of contract staffers, overseen recruitment for C-suite executives, managed teams ranging from 1-50, and have scaled cultures through seismic organizational shifts. Process-wise, I’ve built countless systems and workflows for marketing, sales, product, people, operations, and even engineering teams. I’ve watched some processes accommodate years of scale, watched others fail miserably, and have a strong point of view on when and how to insert process as a strategic point of leverage in business growth. (I’m also an experienced marketer, with almost a decade of brand building expertise. I’ve worked across the full marketing stack, from visual design and creative concepting to content, social, email, and more.)
I'm a former startup marketing executive with a decade of experience growing SaaS companies like Privy, Drift & Onshape.

I'm helping them better define & execute their marketing strategy, pilot new revenue channels and coach emerging marketing leaders. I'm also building DartStudios.io to help Shopify merchants grow their sales by connecting online and in-store customer data. Follow me on Twitter to follow our journey. Before Privy, I ran product marketing at Drift (currently valued at over $1B), and demand generation at Onshape (acquired for $470M in 2019). I also created TheProductLaunchMasterclass.com - a course over 250 product marketers have taken to learn my product launch framework that's driven millions of dollars in sales pipeline.

Selling to ecommerce brands is a unique craft. You are engaging some of the coolest, most innovative, and scrappiest entrepreneurs and brands on the planet. At the same time, it's not easy.

Plus, with all eyes on profitability and revenue efficiency, selling into these brands is more challenging than its been in years past. Now more than ever, the sales process in the ecommerce ecosystem needs to be centered around true consultative value that compliments a scalable outbound motion. I love building relationships with ambitious founders, creators, and marketers in learning about the challenges they face. And then getting creative on how to solve them as they scale their startup in the Shopify ecosystem.
