Kerry Washington has made headlines by becoming the lead investor in Cheersy, a wedding marketplace founded by Amy Shack Egan, which has raised $550,000 in its pre-seed round. Cheersy connects couples with day-of wedding coordinators, addressing a high demand for such services. Washington's involvement comes as she expands her angel investment portfolio, which includes backing various startups. Shack Egan's journey to secure funding was challenging, yet she aims to enhance Cheersy’s platform and expand its reach into six new cities. The funding will also support hiring a user experience designer.
