Catherine Gray/Kelly Arenas: SPV’s As A Fundraising Vehicle Ep. 374
Catherine Gray, the host of Invest In Her, interviews Kelley Arena, an angel investor, consultant for women-founded businesses, and advocate for women in finance. She began her career at a professional football franchise (go Eagles!), rotated through various operating companies at Johnson & Johnson in their Financial Leadership Development Program, and moved to investment banking at Merrill Lynch, specializing in public finance and healthcare.
Kelley founded Golden Hour Ventures, with one mission in mind: to Make Women Rich. We do this by activating female angel investors, bringing women closer to their finances, realizing the power of our collective consumption, and diverting the flow of venture capital from 98% male-founded companies to the incredible women-founded companies who are ready to scale. Kelley has since consulted with dozens of brands, and loves helping founders find their voice. She has a portfolio of 20 companies, boasting 18 companies founded by women. She is a proud mother of two wild boys, an advocate for students with special needs, and a regular volunteer mentoring formerly incarcerated people reentering the job force.

The people making the decisions in the investment world are typically white men- and because people tend to invest in people they identify with, it is no wonder most of the money goes to men. We need more women angel investors, and more women at the decision-making table in order to change this scenario.
