Kaylin is the founder of JIGGY Puzzles, a nationally recognized brand that reimagined the classic jigsaw puzzle as a platform for emerging female artists. What began as a personal creative outlet quickly grew into a successful direct-to-consumer business, earning her a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank and retail launches with Anthropologie, Macy’s, and Nordstrom. After scaling and selling the company, Kaylin became a founding partner at Coast Capital, where she invests in and advises consumer startups. She now leads all venture investment and real estate projects at Roche Development.
Before launching JIGGY, Kaylin began her career in management consulting at IBM, advising media and communications clients on strategy and change management. She was the first employee at theSkimm, helping grow it into the fastest-growing email newsletter with over 8 million subscribers. She later founded Village Strategies, a marketing consultancy supporting a dozen early-stage startups with brand messaging and grassroots marketing.
Kaylin grew up in Pasadena, California before moving to the east coast to attend Barnard College.
