Listen "Demistifying Angel Investing w/ Marcia Dawood"
Episode Synopsis
Angel investor, author, TEDx speaker, and SEC advisor Marcia Dawood joins me to pull back the curtain on what angel investing really is—and why you don’t need to be a millionaire or a finance expert to get started. She shares what most founders get wrong in their pitch, how to evaluate a startup beyond the hype, and why obsessing over the problem is more important than selling the solution. Whether you’re a founder raising capital or someone curious about investing in early-stage companies, this episode is packed with unfiltered insights you don’t want to miss.
