Investor and Operations
Asylum VenturesCheck size: $1M-$2M initial investments, as published when Asylum launched its first fund.
Mackenzie Regent invests through Asylum Ventures while also building the firm's operating systems. Her official biography explicitly says she spends part of her time investing with Nick Chirls and Lola Wajskop in founders who see things others do not yet see.
Obsessed, courageous founders who see what others do not yet see, feel compelled to build and are creating something original rather than following a playbook.
Institutional playbook-following, trend chasing and transactional founder relationships run counter to Asylum's published philosophy.
Explain the founder's obsession, original worldview, why the company must exist, the earliest act of creation and why Asylum is the right decades-long partner.
