Cash Is Queen

Natalie didn't always consider herself an investor, even after spending over seven years working on Wall Street and in private equity. The regular covert put downs, aggressive bro culture, and pointed remarks (and harassment) to push women out of the space did just that. Finance wasn't (and still isn't) a space where women were naturally invited — or celebrated.

Today, with almost two decades of angel investing experience, a portfolio of 45+ private investments, and an average return of 20X across her early growth checks, Natalie runs She's Independent, a women-first angel investment group, to change this narrative. She lives and breathes conscious angel investing and investment education to forge a path for herself and others so that we can. So that we can show up authentically as ourselves. So that we can grow through life's difficulties. So that we can have the support and belonging in our lives that we so long for. So that our voices, dollars, and influence are heard, seen, and felt. So that we can influence the world we live in. So that we can live in a world where we are seen, recognized, and celebrated in all the rooms we choose to enter, including the boardroom. Unmasked and as our full selves.

She wrote this book to share her angel investing insights and lived experiences through her financial, personal, and professional lenses.

Listen to this book to learn and redefine how you show up in life. Angel investing is about learning and being curious. It's about influence, and it's about stepping into your agency. It's about your money and your decision-making process. Ultimately, angel investing is a tool to discover more about you, your power, your financial freedom, and how you show up in the world.
