Episode Four: Maxine Minter's Investment Thesis
Podcast host Kali invites listeners to join her as she builds her own investment thesis from the ground up - learning directly from experienced investors and founders who have already defined (and redefined) theirs.
In this session, we sit down with investor and founder Maxine Minter.
Maxine is the Founder and General Partner at Co Ventures, and started her investment journey as an angel investor, writing $2,500 pre-seed cheques. She ran angel syndicates in Australia and San Francisco while managing her high-growth coaching and advisory business Co Lab, before becoming the first solo female GP in Australia with the launch of her fund Co Ventures, leveraging her deep knowledge of Australian & US markets.
