Yesterday's Angel Investing session with @AmberIllig & @shriyanevatia was SO awesome. These reviews speak for themselves...🔥🔥🔥 Over 100 women joined, we had so many great questions, and blew past our planned hour. We'll just have to host more of these in the future!

😇 Enjoying Angel Investing 101 w/ @AmberIllig & @shriyanevatia from @TheCouncilCap and @ruffinmitch from @brydgeclub

I angel invested in ~30 companies ahead of launching my first fund. That portfolio has markups up to 36x and an exit. *Today* I'm hosting a session for female operators to learn my process and key takeaways. RSVP and join today from 3-4pm PT: lu.ma/kvmle146
