“I invested in Thorpe after meeting Verily Storyworks CEO Barry Capece. Verily Storyworks is built to allow small investors, writers and entrepreneurs an opportunity to get their stories told the right way. Verily’s mission is to produce the untold true stories of important personalities.”

“I invested in Thorpe for two reasons. First, Jim Thorpe’s story is a profound and overlooked part of American history, and it deserves to be shared with a wider audience. Second, I believe Verily Storyworks is doing something genuinely revolutionary by giving the public a voice in determining which stories are told. And I want to be one of the founding investors who stands behind that mission. One day, I hope I can say I was there from the start — that I believed in this story before the world caught on.”
