Together, they will go through a six-month boot camp style program in New York, where they'll learn how to route some of their wealth into angel deals (that will score them an equity stake) in for-profit, for-good businesses.The founder and chief executive of the Pipeline Fund, Natalia Oberti Noguera (image below) is serious about resolving bias against women that she "and many others " perceived in the investment and startup ecosystem.
