Scribble Ventures

Ever had those middle-of-the-night ideas that just... stick? We're asking because that's exactly how our recent keynote speaker, Elizabeth Weil, came up with the name for her venture, Scribble Ventures. After all, everything starts from a Scribble. This Innovation Week, we had the pleasure of hosting Elizabeth Weil, Founder & Managing Partner at Scribble Ventures, for our Women in Tech event. Elizabeth's conversation with our very own Yasmin Lukatz was fascinating, offering us a glimpse into her world. Wondering how she masterfully #juggles it all? Spoiler: her day kicks off with a 5:30 AM run and some laps in the pool. For those who couldn't join us, here are a few gems we gathered: 1.⁠ ⁠You become the average of those around you, so surround yourself with greatness. 2.⁠ ⁠The secret to thriving? Location, great people, and never-ending learning. 3.⁠ ⁠Life doesn't always follow the perfect script - like getting pregnant in your first month at a new job. But hey, when is anything ever ideal? The funny thing is, Elizabeth admits she still doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up. But we have to say, Elizabeth, you've already #nailed it! A heartfelt thank you to Elizabeth for an inspirational talk, and a special shoutout to Donna Griffit for expertly moderating the wants and needs of our WIT community. If you attended, we'd love to hear your own takeaways in the comments.

I’m excited to announce that vybe has raised $4.75M from Stellation Capital, Scribble Ventures, Neo, Coalition Operators and Stellar Capital. Imagine a world where anyone has access to Beyonce’s photographer on demand in their pocket? vybe - the ai camera makes it one-click. Photos have always been the dominant format of self-expression throughout history. From cave paintings & Kodak analog cameras to filtered mobile photos on Instagram & Snapchat, people have wanted to capture reality & imagination into a visual canvas. Photos have since evolved into a cornerstone for community building and human connection. With the advent of AI, this moment in history presents a new inflection point in the story of photography. It introduces a new era where every story featuring you and your friends is captured with the cinematic quality of a James Cameron film. Your imagination is the only limit for you and your friends. This vision has deeply resonated with our predominantly Gen-Z community, who have consistently used vybe as their personal photographer for months. Their valuable feedback has been instrumental in refining and perfecting the core experience, leading to the product you see today. Our community has created millions of images, demonstrating the immense potential of AI-powered visual storytelling. -- Thank you – This wouldn’t be possible without our amazing investors who have supported us when vybe was just an idea.  Peter Boyce II & Rhian Horton from Stellation Capital Kevin Weil, Elizabeth Weil, John Smothers, Christen O'Brien from Scribble Ventures Ali Partovi from Neo Nitesh Banta from Stellar Capital Ashley Mayer and Jaclyn Rice Nelson from Coalition Operators Kanyi Maqubela and Roxann Stafford MBA (she/her) from Blueprint FTC Angels: Russell Kaplan, Michael Stoppelman, Demi G., Kelvin Beachum Jr., Deon Nicholas, Tyler Doremus, Samantha Wiener, Nancy Xu, Annabel Strauss, Daniel Moreno, Jacob Bank, Joshua Meier, Kyle Maloney, Jules Walter, Mihir Garimella, Arquay Harris, Joy Johnson, Luke Melas, Sha-Mayn Teh, Danielle Feinberg, and Melanie Scott.
