The Ridin' With Karen - Reboot

What is Ridin' With Karen?

Years ago, while rebuilding the Network of Business Angels & Investors and hosting entrepreneur/investor pitch dinners and the Southeast Private Equity Conference, I started creating content to engage with my community and build credibility. It's funny to think back to 20 years ago when I was recording 'Ridin' with Karen' videos on a flip camera—before cell phones even had cameras!

Recently, I realized that despite all my volunteer work with business plan competitions and more, many new friends and associates didn't know I offered advice to entrepreneurs. Since I don't drive my car much anymore and live in a place where there are more golf cart paths than paved roads, 'Ridin' with Karen' is making a comeback—this time, on a golf cart!

I’ll be sharing these short, fun videos periodically, covering topics for both entrepreneurs and investors.

Here is one where I address the notion that Founders can get 'paid back' their investment (credit card debt, personal loans, 2nd mortgages, and just plain old money spent) into the company they started from the angel investor money they are seeking.
