- mike_d 7y agoVICEX is based on "sin" stocks. Casinos, tobacco, etc. already on the public market. This is venture funding for edgy products that traditional VCs might not touch.
- listenallyall 7y agoIt's called VICE Ventures. Not EDGY Ventures. Anyway, she has 4 investments and 3 are in beverages, 1 is in video games. Pretty far from "taboo" that the parent article states in the headline. This is simply astroturf produced by a PR firm.
