Trish Costello Email Address

Founder and Chief Executive Officer

NextGen Angels is a financial services company which located in District of Columbia.

I like to build interesting things and create new models. I'm especially interested in how the world is shifting in terms of the collaborative economy and new ventures...and how this is impacted by the rising education, wealth, and buying and investing power of women. I spent over a decade networking preparing and educating emerging leaders in the VC industry. The very best of them--the most visionary--of the VC world know that old patterns can't be followed in times of rapidly changing demography and technology. I'm creating that new fabric for that transformative, pattern-breaking and highly profitable change. I'm founder and CEO of Portfolia, an entrepreneurial investing platform and family of venture funds. I am also co-founder and the former CEO of the Kauffman Fellows Program, Center for Venture Education, a global educational institute preparing the leadership of the venture capital industry located in Palo Alto, CA.
