Women We Love: 7 Questions with Annie Evans Trotta

Annie Evans Trotta is an entrepreneur, community builder, and rainmaker for female founders. She is the ultimate dot connector; enabling women to secure the capital they need to build their businesses. She is also an all around beautiful and generous human being.

I caught up with Annie recently so that you can get to know her in 7 questions!

1. What time do you wake up?

6:30am.

2. Do you have a daily ritual that you can't live without?

Cold brew coffee and reggae tunes.

3. What are you working on right now that you're excited about?

Building a portfolio of awesome companies that are transformative and making the world better.  I recently discovered SPV's as an effective tool to raise money for founders as well as bring amazing investing opportunities to female angels (and men!).

4. Do you have a productivity hack that you swear by? 

Turn off all notifications if I want to dive into big projects so I don't get distracted and can focus.

5. What do you love about your career? 

I love helping rockstar entrepreneurs build their companies and adding value whether it's building a syndicate of strategic angels, helping them land their dream partnership!  It's so rewarding to bring new innovation to consumers and I love helping to power founders who are making the world better.

6. What's the best advice you've ever been given? 

When you feel like you are being rejected, you are being RE-directed to something better.  Always remember when something doesn't work out (i.e. you get a pass from a VC), know that it is because something better is around the corner.  The universe always conspires to have your back if you are a good human.

7. What could you NEVER give up?

Karaoke - my idea of a good night is with a cocktail in one hand and a mic in the other!
