It all started when…
I just wanted to invest my time, talent, and money with other women. I had been the only woman for way too long. I was sure it was time to have an all-women angel investment group. Boy, was I surprised & disappointed when I found out I was too early, too soon, or too naive for my dream to empower women by investing? That was 19 years ago!!!!
When I returned to RTP in 2017 I began to wonder if now was the right time or if had we actually gone backward in the past few years. I decided that there was only one way to find out and that was to try it again and to gather a posse of like-minded women to join me. So that’s exactly what I did.
The glass ceiling has shattered. It’s time to change the narrative… It’s time to rise.
