About Me

Welcome to my newsletter, where I share thoughts and dealflow as an angel investor backing female founders in climate.

Last year, I wrote my first two checks for incredible women-led climate companies: Another Tomorrow and Endless Co, and this year, I’m taking the lead in managing SPVs. My average check size is $5-10k, and I invest through platforms like Sydecar— designed to attract small-check investors. (Angel investing is a privilege, but you don’t have to be ultra-wealthy to get started.)

Thoughts and dealflow from an angel investor backing female founders in climate. Let's invest together!

My goal? To surface more of these investment opportunities and encourage more people—especially women— to step into angel investing. Whether you’re an investor, a founder, or just curious, I hope this space helps demystify the process and spark new connections.

My Why

To meet global CO2 reduction goals, we need an additional $2 trillion in private funding for climate tech. While institutional investors and VC firms play a critical role, small-check investors, angel communities, and SPVs can also help accelerate funding.

At the same time, less than 2% of VC dollars go to female founders—largely due to investor bias and the fact that most investors are white men. As a result, many high-potential women-led climate solutions struggle to access the capital they need.

Every year, angel investors invest $25 billion in more than 70,000 companies. Imagine the impact if more of that capital flowed to women-led climate solutions.


Wondering how you got here? I originally wrote under the name New Wave Angels but decided it felt more authentic to write as myself.
