The startup world is rough–especially for underrepresented founders fighting for their rightful place on the table.
I founded the Phoenix Brand Consultancy® with the idea that strength comes through vulnerability. Like the mythical phoenix, companies sometimes need to set themselves on fire. Let go of everything that makes them weak, bland, and cliché. That’s how they overcome obstacles and re-emerge as a stronger and more fabulous version of themselves.
I'm Victoria Gassmann, strategist, feminist, and founder of the Phoenix Brand Consultancy®. As a strategic partner, I empower early-stage startup founders to gain clarity, direction, and growth by building their brands. In 2022, I helped my clients raise over $12.5 Mio in pre-seed and seed funding.
