At High Alpha, Mollie works alongside the squad to develop and launch brands for our Studio companies from the ground up. From developing the company name to creating their visual identity and website, Mollie has a unique ability to build world-class brand DNA in remarkably short periods of time.

We’re striving to build world-class brands extremely fast. It’s a unique blend of crafting something that’s flexible enough to adjust as the company continues to look for product-market fit but still feels really distinct in the market and true to who they are.

Because of her efforts, we attracted international attendees, top-notch speakers like Moira Gunn and Guy Raz, and outside investors.
