Episode 501: From Living in Her Car to Building a Venture Fund: Arian Simone on Wealth, Freedom & Fearlessness

Dela

Access to capital can determine which entrepreneurs get the opportunity to turn their ideas into successful businesses. In this episode, I sit down with Arian Simone, founder and CEO of the Fearless Fund, to discuss her work investing in women of color, why access to funding remains a challenge, and what it takes to build a venture fund focused on closing that gap. We also talk about her journey as an entrepreneur, investor, author, philanthropist and more.

In this episode, Arian shares:

  • Going from living in her car at 23 to building a PR and marketing business through referrals
  • How venture capital works and when loans, grants, or unconventional funding fit better
  • The 2023 lawsuit against Fearless Fund and the wealth gap behind it
  • Taking inventory of what fear is costing you and creating from freedom instead of struggle
