Episode 235. Getting in front of investors + funding underrepresented founders w/ Alex Chompff, angel investor and serial entrepreneur
Are you a founder who is raising money—or thinking about raising money in the future? This episode is for you.
My guest today is Alex Chompff, an entrepreneur and investor whose ventures include a fund for underrepresented founders, namely women and entrepreneurs of color. Alex and I discuss why these communities are typically passed over for investment, why investors are making mistakes when they do this, and how other founders can get in front of investors like him.
Make sure you tune in for an inspiring story about one of the founders he works with (Shark Tank fans will love it), plus Alex’s advice on getting your business in front of angel investors.
