Announcing the New #AngelsInTheMaking Twitter Chat!
January is a time for new beginnings, a time to pave the way for new growth, and we at Pipeline Angels are no exception. To start, Pipeline Angels welcomes our new Social Media Coordinator, Riley (they/them pronouns), who will be managing our online presence with their strong, unique voice.
This year, Pipeline Angels will shine an even brighter light on the important work done by our members, portfolio companies (and founders), as well as our team. Each of us is dedicated to changing the face of angel investing and social entrepreneurship. We also want to engage more with you, the community that surrounds and supports us.
To that end, we’re proud to announce our updated member spotlight, #AngelsInTheMaking!
Formerly “This Is What An Angel Looks Like,” this interview series began as short Q&As with Pipeline Angel members to showcase their angel investing journey, find out more about their background, and share their advice for angels-in-training and entrepreneurs seeking to raise capital. We wanted to make these Q&As more interactive for women and non-binary femmes who would like to learn more about angel investing, social entrepreneurship, and the Pipeline Angels experience from our members.
How to do that? Introducing the #AngelsInTheMaking Twitter chat!
On Wednesday evenings starting January 17, 2018, we'll invite a Pipeline Angels member to join us on Twitter to share their background, pivotal milestones, including what led them to Pipeline Angels, and investments they’ve made through our pitch summit process in for-profit social ventures led by other women and non-binary femmes.
Our first #AngelsInTheMaking profile was Pipeline Angels member Lisha Bell, @belllism on Twitter. (Look out for the Twitter moment and the upcoming Tumblr summary of the chat!)
Lisha is a Senior IT Product Manager at Kohl’s, where she leads a team to drive enhancements and efficiency throughout all payment modalities in the e-commerce division. Lisha is passionate about causes that impact the wider community and works tirelessly in that regard to build a platform of advocacy around issues such as tech inclusion, diversity, and education.
This week's member spotlight is Katie McCann, @katiemccann on Twitter!
Katie is currently Co-Founder at RatherBe, where she heads up product, user acquisition, and growth (and a handful of other duties, as is the case at an early-stage startup). She is a seasoned startup leader with over fifteen years of experience building elegant web and mobile consumer products at early- to mid-stage startups.
We’re excited to introduce you to our members. Join us on Wednesdays for our #AngelsInTheMaking Twitter chat and help us spread the word about this weekly get-together!
