Episode description

Whether you’re interested in entrepreneurship, or venture capital, or just love hearing from women who are blazing a trail like I do… you are going to love this conversation.

Our guest, Carrie Colbert spent nearly two decades in the male-dominated oil and gas industry, with a standout career at Hilcorp. After “retiring” at age 38, Carrie transitioned into a new chapter of her life: investing in women-owned businesses. After five years as an angel investor, Carrie realized that women-led businesses are not only underfunded, but they consistently outperform. This led her to launch Curate Capital to champion female-founded consumer brands. In 2022, Carrie closed Fund 1 at $15 million—50% oversubscribed and with nearly 80% of her investors being women. Curate Capital is now breaking down barriers for female founders and making venture capital more accessible to potential investors.

Whether you’re thinking about building a business, investing in one, or simply managing your finances with more intention – get into action toward it.

Because it isn’t called trail waiting, or trail thinking, or even trail tiptoeing. Don’t wait for the perfect moment, don’t overthink every step, and don’t play it small. BLAZE your trail, take bold action, and create the future you want.
