Carly is the co-founder of BARK, the world's leading dog brand that delivers over half a billion products to dogs across the globe. Since founding the company in 2011, Carly managed and scaled business operations across multiple product lines and distribution channels, from packing the first 49 boxes herself to taking the company public at a $1.6B valuation in 2021. Today, Carly co-runs Ambush Capital, an early-stage fund focused on consumer and digital product companies. Before BARK, she was part of the early team at Uber that launched their operations in New York City. Carly has been recognized on the 30 Under 30 lists for both Forbes and Inc. magazines. An early stage builder at her core, Carly brings a rare combination of D2C operating depth and early-stage investor instinct to her work. We first met Carly in 2011 when Dan joined prehype, the venture studio behind Bark Box, when Carly bribed a 22-year old Dan in wine to pack dog toys into boxes.
