About this listen
Anna is the Head of Content at Scale Venture Partners, where she leads editorial and helps the firm articulate what it stands for.
In our conversation, we unpacked her perspective on what storytelling looks like in a world full of AI slop, why most founders feel stuck and what they can do about it, and how to build a personal brand that actually maps back to the business. We also got into how venture firms can use editorial as a wedge, not to chase vanity metrics, but to build trust with a very specific set of founders.
Anna is one of the most thoughtful people in content, and I had such a great time chatting with her!
