Hey everyone, I'm Hannah Dittman, operations and finance host of the Startup CPG podcast, and today I'm joined by Alex Borchow, a general partner at Rokana Ventures.
Rokana brings a deeply mission-driven approach to early-stage investing and consumer, backing brands that genuinely make people's lives better.
What we eat, what we put on our bodies, and what supports our mental and emotional well-being.
Alex blends operational empathy with disciplined investing and a belief that great products, great founders, and great impact go hand in hand.
In this episode, we talk about what real product market fit looks like, how to recognize traction and why it matters so much, and a general approach to diligence.
Alex shares fundraising advice, traits he consistently sees in the best founders, and why adopting a postmortem mindset early can change the entire trajectory of a business.
We dig into why not every metric has to be perfect to raise capital and how founders can prepare for the next chapter with both clarity and confidence.
It's tactical, honest, and packed with insight from someone who's helping shape the next generation of high-impact consumer brands.
Enjoy.
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to the Startup CPG podcast.
This is Hannah, and today I'm here with Alex Borchow, an investor from Rakana Ventures.
Alex, welcome to the show.
We're so excited for you to be here today.
I'd love to start out with you introducing yourself, your title, and giving a little bit of a background from where you started and what led you to investing.
What an awesome background and a lot of different cool experiences.
I'm sure there's a lot of Italy fans out there that are happy with your work.
And Puerto Rico, how cool.
I see that you got a surfboard in the background.
So I imagine that's probably where you pick that up.
