Announced Startups

Connie has partnered with us from the earliest days of Whatnot. She’s been critical to our success by helping us translate insights from Asian markets to Whatnot customers. Beyond this, she's always been there to offer help and advice as we encounter new challenges as a company. We're incredibly lucky to have her on our side and board.

- Grant LaFontaine, CEO / Co-founder of Whatnot

In the three years I've known Connie, her impact as an investor has been extraordinary. She's deeply involved in many facets of our business, from branding and product experience to customer insights. Connie consistently goes the extra mile, whether it's arranging for detailed critique on our email content, connecting us with key partnership opportunities, or proudly wearing our brand at galas and TV interviews. 
​
It's not just her strategic mind that makes Connie invaluable; it's her personal touch. She spots our product bugs often before we do, showing just how much she cares about our success. Her honest feedback keeps us on track and true to our vision. Connie is more than an investor; she's a dedicated ally in our journey, and we're incredibly grateful for her support and guidance.

- Yu Oppel, Co-founder of Cider

"As a founder, your primary job is to stack the factors of success in your company's favor. Having Connie Chan on your cap table is one of the highest-leverage ways to do this - it certainly was for me. Connie not only helped us attract other top investors and close key hires, but she also sharpened our product and growth thinking, and played a pivotal role in the successful acquisition of our company. Connie elevates everyone around her to a higher level, and I would gladly partner with her again. She has my highest recommendation."

- Warren Shaeffer, CEO/Co-founder of Knowable
