Money is power: An angel investor’s experience.

Money is power: An angel investor’s experience. Joanne Wilson has invested in over 120 companies over the past 12 years, the overwhelming majority of which were founded by women. In this WSJ podcast (listen, runtime: 21:14), she dispenses advice based on her own experience as an angel investor, a mentor of entrepreneurs and an ambitious professional striving for success on fair terms. For women: Be true to yourselves and be as smart and aggressive as any man would be. For angel investors: Understand the risks and returns. For employers: a new hire’s skill set is arguably more important than whether they have prior industry experience. And for anyone trying to change the balance of the workforce: Support women and support minorities, because your investments today will affect the leaders of tomorrow — “you can’t be it if you can’t see it.”
