Summary
Today on the Invest In Her Podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Tessa de Flines, co-founder of AtVenture Platform, whose mission is to close the wealth and funding gap by activating diverse angel investors through education, community, and capital. Tessa brings more than 18 years of corporate leadership experience from global institutions such as GE and ABN AMRO, along with 8 years as an entrepreneur and Fractional COO helping startups create structure, strategy, and execution as they scale. She is also a Founding Partner at Masters of Scale and an active angel investor through AtVenture Platform, Great Stuff Ventures, and her own portfolio. Passionate about increasing access to capital and opportunity, Tessa mentors founders, speaks globally on inclusive investing, and works to inspire more women and underrepresented investors to participate in the startup ecosystem. In this episode, Catherine and Tessa discuss the barriers that keep many women and diverse investors from entering the world of angel investing—and how education, community, and access to deal flow can change that. Tessa shares insights from her work building AtVenture Platform, where she focuses on demystifying investing and empowering individuals to become early-stage backers of impactful startups. The conversation explores the importance of expanding the investor base, how more inclusive investing leads to stronger innovation, and why activating new angel investors is critical to closing the funding gap for women founders. Together, they highlight practical ways people can get involved in startup investing while helping reshape the future of entrepreneurship.
