Maple Leaf Angels' member Sarah Stevens shares her journey in Angel investing and how working with other Angels as part of a team can be very beneficial to your investment decision-making. Being an Angel investor on your own can be a daunghting experience with limited access to deals and subject matter expertise. Collaborting with Angel investors from various professional, industry and entrepeneurial backgrounds is a tremendous advantage to being part of an Angel group. If you are intersted in learning more about Angel investing or would like to attend one of our monthly Angel investor meetings, please reach out. #Angelinvesting #Startups #Medtech #HealthTech

According to the World Economic Forum, female founded startups accounted for 2% or less of venture capital funding invested in the United States and Europe in 2023. Bread and Butter Ventures recognize the significant funding gap faced by female founders and all-female teams in the venture capital landscape. And their team is committed to paying it forward. Which led to the creation of the Female Founders Series 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 The series features virtual lunch and learn sessions led by Mary Grove, Brett Brohl, and Stephanie Rich. In today’s first session we learned about > The macro fundraising environment for early-stage founders. > Best practices for running an efficient and effective fundraising process. > How to think about valuation and key terms in seed rounds. > How to manage the closing process. And, in addition, every attendee has the option to schedule 1:1 time with the Bread and Butter Ventures team. My favorite takeaway from today? Know you belong. Thank you Melissa Smith for putting this opportunity on my radar. And thank you Mary Grove and the Bread and Butter Ventures team for hosting us, and for everything you shared today. #FemaleFounders #FundingGap #VentureCapital #WomenInBusiness #Startups #BreadAndButterVentures #FundraisingInsights #Mentorship
