Aspen's Investment Journey: Funding Human Connection with WeDeepen
I think some of the best entrepreneurs are wildly aware that they don't know and actually know where to pull in support in those places.
Ever wondered what it takes to invest in a company focused on bringing people closer together? In this episode of 'Deepen with Christina', Christina Weber sits down with Aspen, an entrepreneur, investor, and advisor, to uncover the story behind WeDeepen's $100,000 seed funding. Broadcasting live from Aboutly training in Texas, Aspen opens up about her journey from selling her first business to deciding to invest in WeDeepen.
She dives into the delicate balance of sharing personal information with investors and the importance of vulnerability in business. Despite WeDeepen's focus on in-person events, they managed to secure significant funding just months before the pandemic hit. Half of this funding came from Christina's father and the other half from Aspen herself. This episode isn't just about numbers; it's about the human connections that make business ventures like WeDeepen possible.
Tune in to hear Aspen's thoughts on personal growth, the power of human connection, and how reinvention plays a crucial role in both personal and professional life.
