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!

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
Just sent wire info to receive my first return from an early angel investment! Taking 20% off the table at a 36x gross return. After 3 years of money out, finally some money in 😅
