About Stephanie Rich

I\'m passionate about early-stage entrepreneurship. At Bread and Butter Ventures I work to build scalable networks, resources, tools and knowledge that help our portfolio companies succeed. I spend time working in the Twin Cities startup ecosystem and mentoring founders building in food/ag tech, digital health and enterprise saas. Before working in VC, I gained experience in early-stage marketing and building brands and communities. And I love dogs.
