    Achievements

    Valerie founded and launched Capital Growth, Inc. in the mid 1990's which was the first print and online entrepreneur affordable venture news source the east coast with more than 2,300 PAYING subscribers at a time when very little venture data was available at all to non venture fund consumers. Think "Wallmart of Venture One." Capital Growth bought then sold several other small newsletter/database properties over the course of 15 years. Valerie is one of the greatest "connectors" in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
