747: Kelly Keenan Trumpbour, Founder SeeJaneInvest.com
<p>Did you ever have an idea for a business, but the one thing you didn't have was the money, and so it fell to the wayside, or you lost momentum. Oftentimes, entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs will turn to investors, angel investors to fund their ideas to get their businesses off the ground. A lot of us think that we may not qualify for this, right? We're not contestants on Shark Tank, we're not the next Facebook or Airbnb, so we think. We give up on even that idea. </p><p>Today's guest is Kelly Keenan Trumpbour and she is going to tell us how to earn some investor dollars. Like many industries, angel investing used to be dominated by men. It still is in some ways, but more and more women are becoming angel investors. These days 26%, about one in four angel investors are women and that's up from just 12% in 2011. In recent history, we've made quite in advance. Kelly is a successful female angel investor, she's the founder of a company called See Jane Invest, which is committed to helping women-led businesses find success. </p><p>She talks about her portfolio, how she identifies businesses that are worth funding, how to get your business off the ground. Also, Kelly is a fascinating person. She's a mother, she's a business owner, she's a wife, she is the host of the podcast See Jane Invest, she's somebody who arrived in her career never imagining this is actually what it would look like. </p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

726: Cousins Maine Lobster, Shark Tank Winners
E<p>Have you ever had one too many drinks with friends and come up with an absolutely brilliant business idea that you then launch and six years later becomes an international, $20 million dollar brand? You think I’m kidding. Today I’m interviewing two of the most famous cousins in the business world, Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis, co-founders of Cousins Maine Lobster. You may know them from one of the early episodes of Shark Tank. Barbara Corcoran ended up taking a stake in their then 2-month old business.

They went to college and started separate careers in different states and went a few years without much interaction. However, that all changed when Jim flew to LA where Sabin lived and asked him if he wanted to go out to eat dinner to catch up. That infamous dinner - which inlcuded more than a few drinks - was when they hatched the idea for their business.</p><p>We discuss how they prepared for Shark Tank, their biggest money mistakes and the big-ticket item they’re both saving up for now. </p><p>Visit www.somoneypodcast.com for more.</p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
