I had the pleasure of meeting with Ben from Archangel as part of our 100 Coffee Challenge. While there was no coffee this time, Roselle and Joe have confirmed that this still counts! I had a great conversation with Ben about the challenges of running a Venture Fund. Learning how Archangel evolved from an angel syndicate to its current form was fascinating. What stood out to me was Ben's awesome sense of responsibility in shepherding the capital entrusted to him. *Key takeaways from our conversation: - Develop a product that inspires confidence in your LPs. - A solid track record and the ability to demonstrate value growth are crucial. - Make the most of what you have. While massive exits are rare, it's essential to highlight the value you’ve created.

2 angel investing myths I'd like to dispel 👇🏻 1️⃣ You need to write $10K+ checks for founders to be interested in your $ 2️⃣ That if you work at a VC firm, you CAN'T angel invest. If you want proof, just ask Alexandra Burbey. Prior to joining Sound Ventures, she built an early stage angel portfolio while writing checks as a growth stage VC. Here's a bit more about how she did it 👇🏻

Looking forward to the Women’s Venture Capital Summit next week!   Venture secondaries are an increasingly important tool for both founders and investors—providing liquidity while reshaping cap tables to help drive long-term growth. As market dynamics continue to evolve, what is the role of venture secondaries? Are they more than just a short-term solution to today’s liquidity challenges?   Excited to explore these questions on the venture secondaries panel on February 5th. #WVCS25
