About This Podcast

In Magic 8 Ball with Melissa and Micaela, RevUp Capital’s Melissa Withers and Micaela Kamp dig into the messy reality of early-stage investing and biz building when the rules are changing faster than the playbooks.

There are no easy answers, and when they can’t figure it out, the Magic 8 Ball has the final say.
