Ashley walks us through her path to break in to the world of venture capital, first by participating in deals on AngelList, then building out her own syndicate. She shares how COVID accelerated the transition, allowing her to capitalize on both the lack of capital and shift to a remote world. She shares her investment philosophy, why she benefits from a non-tech background, and what it’s like writing checks while being based in Florida.</p> <p>-----</p> <p>Follow Meb on <a href= "https://twitter.com/MebFaber">Twitter</a>, <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/mebanefaber/">LinkedIn</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKvWzzrVUA_DSCoKXL6GU2w">YouTube</a></p> <p>For detailed show notes, click <a href= "https://mebfaber.com/2021/11/22/e370-ashley-flucas/">here</a></p> <p>To learn more about our funds and follow us, subscribe to our <a href= "https://us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6750faf5c6091bc898da154ff&id=7249739cdb">mailing list</a> or visit us at <a href= "http://www.cambriainvestments.com/">cambriainvestments.com</a></p> <p>-----</p> <p>Today’s episode is sponsored by <a href= "http://public.com/faber"><strong>Public.com</strong></a>.
