Today’s guest is Isabelle Freidheim, founder and managing partner of Athena Capital, a technology fund that focuses on bringing high-performing, mission-driven companies to the market. Isabelle is the youngest female chairman of a publicly traded company in the U.S. Under her leadership, Athena has raised more than $1.2 billion.
Before founding Athena Capital, Isabelle co-founded and acted as CEO of Magnifi, the AI and machine-learning fintech company. Isabelle led Magnifi's early growth as one of the few female CEOs in the AI industry.
Isabelle previously co-founded and managed The London Fund and was the first female venture partner at VC fund MissionOG.
During this interview, Isabelle shares her personal and career journey, from VC to entrepreneur. We then discuss SPACs in-depth, how they work, why some companies would prefer to IPO through a SPAC rather than the traditional IPO process, and much more.
