Amber Illig, General Partner and investor at The Council Fund, joins The Gen She Podcast to share her journey into angel investing and venture capital. It all began when she moved to Silicon Valley for a job at Apple. Despite working at a Fortune 500 company, she felt drawn to the founder ecosystem and wanted to be involved in venture-backed startups. She started angel investing while continuing her career in tech, eventually investing in 30 companies with wildly successful returns. Realizing her passion and skill for investing, she decided to make it her full-time focus and raised her first fund. Amber runs The Council Angels, a community of over 100 operators turned angel investors. Members are able to invest in select deals alongside the fund and learn along the way.
