Ep 372: Revolutionizing Investment: Equity Crowdfunding and Female Empowerment with Marcia Dawood

Join us for an enlightening conversation with Marcia Dawood, an experienced angel investor who shares her transformative journey from being unaware of the investment world to becoming a passionate advocate for angel investing, especially for women. Listen in as Marcia demystifies the concept of angel investing, which involves using personal, after-tax dollars to invest in private companies. With the rise of equity crowdfunding platforms like Republic, Wefunder, and StartEngine, this once-exclusive realm is now more accessible than ever. Marcia breaks down common misconceptions about needing immense wealth or connections to participate, encouraging listeners to develop a focused investment strategy based on their interests and goals.

We explore the empowering potential of angel investing, particularly for women entrepreneurs who are often underrepresented in receiving funding. The conversation highlights the need for more women in decision-making roles to support female-led ventures, particularly in areas like women's healthcare. Marcia emphasizes the importance of aligning investments with personal values and recognizing the potential in alternative assets like angel investing. Her journey into this field, along with her efforts to raise awareness through public speaking and writing, serve as an inspiring call to action for listeners to consider this impactful form of investing.
