Listen Later

On today’s show we welcome Ellen Weber, a trailblazer in the field of angel investing. Ellen is the Executive Director of Robin Hood Ventures, a leading angel group in the mid-Atlantic region; and the Executive Director of Mid-Atlantic Diamond Ventures (MADV), which assists early-stage tech and innovation-based companies acquire funding and build sustainable businesses.


As a self-described conduit between entrepreneurs and angel investors, Ellen brings a unique perspective to the show. Over the course of the episode she breaks down the mechanics and ethos of Robin Hood Ventures, how they evaluate entrepreneurs (you might be in luck if you have a messy desk!), and how they’re revisiting some long-held investment beliefs to further diversity and inclusion. She also shares valuable advice about approaching angels, the ‘superpowers’ that she believes women entrepreneurs bring to the table, and how women can step into the investing side.
