Jessy Wu, a former venture investor, has made the decision to leave VC and launch her own media and communications agency called Encour. After spending years as a venture investor, Wu realized the importance of communication in the success of a vision and business. She has already secured several clients and delivered successful campaigns, including Slice, which recently secured a $7.5 million Seed round. Wu believes that mental toughness is as important as intellectual horsepower for founders, and she has decided not to seek venture capital for her new business, opting instead for a professional services business model. She aims to build a significant and valuable venture without raising outside capital and reinvesting revenue in growth.
