SheWorx Virtual Roundtable: Inside the Minds of Angel Investors


Join us for an interactive discussion with two seasoned angel investors, Sapna Shah and Seble Tareke-Williams, who will share their perspectives on all things angel investing. During this SheWorx event, you'll learn more about what angels look for when investing, how angels differ from venture capitalists, and the value angels add to the startup ecosystem. Sapna and Seble will provide insights into some of the deals they've invested in, some they've passed on, and will provide guidance for founders interested in tapping into angel investor networks to raise capital. 

What to look forward to from our panelists:

  • Sapna's expertise in the retail space—she'll highlight some of the investments she's made including Silk + Sonder, Robyn, Findmine, Stantt, and Iterate, among others. 

  • Seble's background in real estate entrepreneurship—she'll dive into some of her past angel investments including Motivo, Goalsetter, Cosynd, TimeStudy, and more.
