Professional Superpower

Annie is an expert at scaling consumer brands through strategic partnerships, fundraising, and venture acceleration. As the co-founder of Dream Ventures Accelerator, she has guided 240 early-stage founders through a seven-week fundraising program, helping them collectively raise over $20 million. Her firsthand experience as a founder gives her a unique perspective—having co-created Beautified alongside Hannah Bronfman, a venture-backed beauty and fitness booking app that secured a seed round led by NEA, Manzanita Capital, and top angels. Annie understands how to navigate the fundraising landscape, structure high-impact deals, and build meaningful relationships between founders and investors to drive long-term success.

She lives in Jersey City with her husband—a chef and restaurateur—and their 5-year-old son, Wells. Whether she’s unwinding at her cottage in Maine or grabbing the mic for an epic karaoke performance, Annie brings passion and energy to everything she does. Her ability to connect, mentor, and uplift others is at the heart of her work, ensuring that the next generation of women-led businesses has the foundation to scale and succeed.
