Stephanie talks with Suzanne Grant, Executive Director of the Capital Angel Network, about how to get started in angel investing and what founders need to know when seeking early funding. Suzanne explains the difference between angel investors and venture capital, what stage founders should approach angels, and how investments can align with personal values from women-led startups to climate and health tech. She shares how Capital Angel Network builds community between investors and entrepreneurs, and why growing women’s wealth and leadership in the investment space matters. They also discuss common misconceptions about investing, how to assess readiness, and why helping others “see their spark” can change the trajectory of a business and a life.
