Sherry Saeedi is Transforming the Music Industry With Her VC Startup

Podcast - Wordpress Image

“Anything is possible. It’s just about believing in yourself, because that will lead everything.”

Sherry Saeedi is the founder and CEO of Verswire, a venture capital music startup. Growing up on welfare, Sherry’s entrepreneurial spirit emerged early. At just six years old, she was selling coupon booklets to her neighbors and it was that determination that led Sherry to later co-found Veeps, a live stream ticketing platform that was later acquired by Live Nation. This success fueled her vision for Verswire, which has signed both household names and up and coming talent and positioned itself as a top rival in the music industry. Tune in and hear all about Sherry’s strategy for handling stress and decision-making during difficult times, her steps to building the right team, and how she works to create a positive company culture.

We talked about: 

  • Building a solution without a tech background (08:15)
  • The highs and lows of seeking investors (09:13)
  • Lessons learned from raising capital (19:57)
  • The acquisition process (27:07)
