I Invested in My First StartupAnd It Was Terrifying
I invested in a startup for the first time as an angel investor, and, honestly, the process was\u2026strange. While public market investing feels comfortable and \u201csafe,\u201d private investments feel like pulling the lever on a slot machine with a few thousand bucks on the line.\nWe're taking Rich Girl Nation behind the scenes of the process, with three guests this week. I'm joined by Arman Hezarkhani, the founder & CEO of Parthean (https://www.parthean.com/) about my investment and what I did wrong. I also chatted with Steph Mui, the founder & CEO of PIN (https://www.getpin.xyz/) and Erica Wenger, founder of Park Rangers Capital (https://www.parkrangerscap.com/).\nTranscripts can be found at https://podcast.moneywithkatie.com/.\nReminder: While I love diving into investing- and tax law-related data, I am not a financial professional.
