“I haven’t yet met a VC firm more aligned with my frame of mind and goals.” – Meet Jessica Rameau

Wellstreet encourages the portfolio and its team to take active ownership, accountability, and responsibility for their growth path. I firmly believe in putting your head down, rolling up your sleeves and getting to work, regardless if you're the underdog. If you bite off more than you can chew – then you just chew!
