A Conversation With Arati Sharma on: Angel Investing as a Woman of Colour in Tech

This week, we sit down with Arati Sharma, founder of Backbone Angels, a collective of angel investors who invest in women and non-binary founders, specifically in Black, Indigenous, and Women of Colour-led companies. Arati walks us through what it means to be an Angel Investor, how she got here (hint: she was one of the first Shopify members in Canada), and what's next for her and her team.


You can follow Arati on Instagram, and check out Backbone Angels and their dope group of investors.
