While speaking about her recipe website on the official Instagram page of Serena Ventures, Stitzel said, “We love Serena Ventures. They have been such an amazing supportive investor to us. They led our pre-seed, and from anything as minor as helping us beta test our new app to something much more significant like our bank going under and helping us navigate, navigate that. They’re amazing and every member of the team is awesome and supportive, and we’re so lucky to have them in our corner.”
