Melanie Strong is a founding partner at Next Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on empowering passionate founders to set a new pace in human optimization. Prior to becoming a full-time VC and advisor, Mel spent her career building high-performing teams at Nike, where she held titles like VP of Global Brand Marketing for Nike Women and GM of Nike Skateboarding. In 2019, Mel co-founded NEXT VENTŪRES with Lance Armstrong with the intention of helping founders innovate quickly in the health and wellness space.
In this episode, Mel discusses the importance of investing in disruptive technologies and FOUNDERS who will have a broad and positive impact on the future of human health and wellness. She shares that only 3% of venture capitalists in the US are women… a bleak statistic… and why it is important for women to embrace the conversation around growing their personal wealth. We share a few laughs about her propensity for WORK… and finally, Mel shares that, while leading your life with gratitude is not easy, it is the ONLY way to be truly fulfilled.
