Jodie Imam'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 Jodie Imam.
Jodie Imam is the Co-Founder and CEO of Tractor Venture, providing flexible, revenue-based financing to help companies grow without diluting ownership, as well as an angel investor, advisor and board member. Prior to Tractor, she led Australia’s SBE Australia in accelerating innovative female leaders, and co-founded companies including Occasional Butler (acquired by Airtasker) and depo8 coworking. With experience spanning entrepreneurship, startup mentoring and strategic leadership, Jodie brings a founder’s mindset to investing; spotting potential, backing people, and building resilience.
