Investing in Mindfulness, Compassion & Wellness - #11

Are we creating technologies that support:

• Connection or division?

• Addiction or isolation?

• Mindfulness or distraction?

Wisdom Ventures support a new generation of companies that do the former, in a world where technology has often achieved the latter.

After 25+ years at Google, Microsoft, and Cisco, Ruchika Sikri is accelerating the growth of mindfulness, compassion, and wellness platforms as a Partner at Wisdom Ventures.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. The value of Emotional Intelligence for VCs

2. Enterprise Sales as a gateway to Direct-to-Consumer Sales

3. The advantages of targeting narrow user groups

4. Emerging trends in wellbeing technology
