Michael Preysman
Founder and CEO Everlane“Working with Imaginary has been a significant value add to our People Ops function here at Kosas. They are a valued sounding board for talking through ideas and initiatives we are considering. Their hands-on experience at popular consumer brands means they’re late to us, our employees, and our company culture. We’re so glad Imaginary has added this function to their list of portfolio company support functions!”
Dawn Isaksen
CFO of Kosas“I’m incredibly excited to be working with two visionary investors, Nick and Natalie. In addition to Net-a-Porter, Natalie has done incredible talent development work with the British Fashion Council. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Nick years ago, and he’s a clear expert in direct-to-consumer. Between their expertise, vision, and proven ability to find and develop talent, they’re going to knock it out of the park with Imaginary Ventures.”
