Collaborative investing in world changing start ups with Trish Costello - CEO and co-founder of Portfolia
Manage episode 323629590 series 3331275
On today's episode, I'm joined by Trish Costello. She's the founder and CEO of Portfolia, which offers a radically different investing process designed for women and other emerging investors. They're building a movement to collectively invest in diverse founders solving problems that were often previously ignored, like in women's health, active aging, and financial justice.
Trish talks about:
- Why Portfolia is full sail ahead investing in world-changing startups and raising funds even amidst the pandemic and economic downturn.
- Launching the first fund dedicated to women's health (and how traditional VC had been too uncomfortable to talk about vaginas) and the first fund led by all women of color.
- How Portfolia is connecting with diverse founders, even as we go remote.
- Why the regulations of what qualifies someone as an accredited investor should be updated, and how you can gain experience even if you're not accredited.
- The importance of women harnessing the power of their wealth.
