#382: Angel Fund for Women with "Entrepreneurologist" Robbie Hardy

Join us as we sit down with Robbie, a dynamic entrepreneur with a unique journey. Discover the pivotal moments that shaped her career and fueled her mission to make a lasting impact. She dives into:

• M&A insight from selling her companies
• Her mentor in residency role at Duke University
• Teaching women to be angel investors
• Meeting you where you are 

Robbie juggled side businesses with her corporate career, but despite her success, she felt out of sync with corporate norms and craved a deeper impact. A transformative trip to Colorado inspired her to forge a path that fed her soul. Her employer became her first client, and her first company was born.

Despite not being a natural at math and science, she delved into statistical programs like SAS and SPSS, discovering a passion for technology management.

Over the years, Robbie founded or co-founded over a dozen companies, with her first exit in 1995 with CI Technologies. Beyond her entrepreneurial ventures, her mission is empowering women to find their confidence and courage. Initiatives like Empowering Women Together and xElle Ventures, an angel fund for female founders, exemplify her commitment. Robbie's books, Upsetting the Table and Fed Up to Start Up, further share her journey and inspire others to leap into entrepreneurship.
