#12 - Abha Nath (Investor @ Wonder Ventures)

This week we had on Abha Nath (@abhanath) of Wonder Ventures.

Wonder is an early-stage fund that aims to invest earlier than anyone else in Southern California’s best founders. Since its founding in 2015, the firm has invested in category-defining companies like Honey, Luxe, Joymode, and a number of others. Abha is the first and only hire at Wonder, and we wanted to have her on to dive into her unique path.

In this talk, we discuss:

• Abha’s journey to venture and how her previous roles at the Disney Accelerator and Ring prepared her to be an investor
  
• What makes Southern California unique as a startup ecosystem
  
• What has changed when evaluating early-stage companies virtually
  
• Some red flags that make businesses un-investible
  
• We flip it around and let Abha ask us a few questions at the end
