#5 The No BS Angel Investor: Inside the Mind of Angel Investor Joanne Wilson

Broadmic Startup Shortcuts

When angel investor Joanne Wilson was recently asked “how do female entrepreneurs find you”, she replied “i don’t know, they find me; i guess i’m kinda out there.” Joanne’s larger-than-life reputation precedes her…
for going to bat for her female founders, and for speaking the truth even if it comes at the expense of her own pocketbook. Joanne took up angel investing with a vengeance as a second career and as a way of giving back and empowering the next generation of female founders. Joanne has made over 60 angel investments in women-led startups and regularly writes about her experience on Gotham Gal, a blog that she’s been writing for over a decade. Today, we have a chance to get inside the mind of an experienced angel investor and hear some inside baseball from Joanne, including what she and Warren Buffett have in common. Entrepreneurs listen up: she will share cautionary tales about the importance of knowing your deal terms and why she *hates* seeing an exit slide in a pitch deck! You will learn all about “the good, the bad, and the ugly” from Joanne Wilson, the ‘no BS’ angel investor.
