Hello Fintech Friends,

Do you believe in angels?

We hope so, because our editors Julie VerHage-Greenberg and Helen Femi Williams got to sit down with Monica Murthy, FinTech Sales & Partnerships Lead at Alloy, and Jenny Johnston, Investor at Better Tomorrow Ventures, to talk about all things angel investing. Give it a listen here.

For new readers, our show Beyond Two Percent analyzes the critical questions, issues, and dynamics that affect people differently by gender - and the intersection of those dynamics with finance.
