Welcome to episode 215 of Love, your Money! In this episode, Terri Hanson Mead joins me to talk about her experience as an angel investor.
Early in her days as an angel investor, Terri noticed that more than 90% of VCs were men — and nearly 50% came from the same two universities. In 2017, Terri started Class Bravo Ventures, a firm focused on startups that expand the power and influence of women.
In today’s episode, you’ll hear Terri talk about why she started — and stopped — angel investing. You’ll also hear about why demographic issues affect the success of startups, how to evaluate companies for investing, and the unique challenges women face in angel investing.
Here’s what you’ll find out in this week’s episode of Love, your Money:
