Changing Communities Through Venture Capital Investing with Kim Nixon, Open Venture Capital

“If you give capital to black women, you’ll see entire communities change,” says my wonderful guest this week, Kim Nixon.    Kim’s idea of legacy reaches far beyond her own immediate family, and roots itself in the black community all over the world. She wants to teach black women how to invest their wealth for the betterment of themselves and their communities. When at least 50 women have multiplied their investments, Kim will know her job is done.    In this week’s episode, we discuss Kim’s money stories throughout her life — from her childhood having to spend $1 like it’s $3, to learning about wealth and investing when she was doing real estate. Throughout all stages of her life, she learned a lot about money, wealth, and investing from others. Now, she’s trying to give back and do the same for her peers.    If you’re curious about angel investing, my interview with Kim will give you a sneak peek into what it’s like getting started, and the lessons she learned with her first investments.        Key Topics: Learning to work with money from a young age Becoming attuned to the different opportunities kids have growing up Pounding payment to save up during college How working in real estate changed her views on money and investing Basing her investments on becoming financially free How Kim began her venture fund Using her VC and PC experience to make space for black investors Early lessons in angel investing Considering risk tolerance with investing Bringing financial literacy to the next generation The legacy Kim will leave behind Connect with Kim online: Website: https://openventure.capital/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberleynixon/ Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @gettingrichpod, @syama.co, Website: https://scalingretail.com/, www.syamabunten.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/scalingretailconsulting
