Cultures within Capitalism
Alex Daly and Ally Bruschi of Orchard Street
This month on the pod, I welcome Alex Daly and Ally Bruschi of Orchard Street. You may remember Alex Daly as the very first guest on this podcast back in 2022, and now she is back with her partner Ally as they launch Orchard Street—a seed fund that invests in workplace-shaping ideas—pairing funding with deep strategic advising around Comms, Operations, and Culture Building. Alex and Ally tell us about their journey into VC and how they were able to create such a solid infrastructure and culture at Daly that they were profitable enough—both in monetary resources and time—to launch this new seed fund as General Partners. They take us behind the scenes of their partnership at Daly and at Orchard Street, sharing what they've learned about VC and how they want to change the culture of investing and growing companies. They've also got a new Substack, Cherry on Top, launching June 4th. This will be a monthly publication dedicated to exploring the ins and outs of everything that modern businesses need to truly shine. If you've ever wondered what it's like to build a thriving culture and solid infrastructure and how that allows your creative ideas to continue to flourish, Alex & Ally share their experience of making it all happen.
