EPISODE 546: Many people believe that startup investing is reserved for the rich only; you need a big pile of cash in order to do it.
But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
In this week’s episode of The InvestHER Podcast, we sit down with Marcia Dawood, an angel investor who has invested in over 50 companies and is passionate about democratizing startup investing.
Marcia also serves on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee. She’s a venture partner with Mindshift Capital, a member of Golden Seeds, and chair emeritus of the Angel Capital Association (ACA), a global professional society for angel investors. She’s also an associate producer on the award-winning documentary “Show Her the Money.”
In this episode, Marcia will be sharing with us her journey from corporate America to angel investing and revealing how anyone can start investing with as little as $50.
She’ll also be discussing the many different ways to invest in startups, why investing in women-led startups is a must, what to look for when evaluating funds and companies, and so much more.
