Angel Investing for Women Physicians:
A Trifecta MD Guide to Building Legacy Wealth

Part 1: Angel Investing Explained (For Doctors, By Doctors)

"Why Your Clinical Instincts Make You a Smarter Investor Than Any MBA"

At Trifecta MD, we talk a lot about financial freedom—not just saving, but owning. Here’s how angel investing fits into that vision:

The Scenario:
A founder pitches you a "revolutionary" AI scribe. In 30 seconds, you see:
✔ The flaw (requires 10 extra clicks per note)
✔ The potential (could save hours if redesigned)

Instead of giving free feedback, you say: "I’ll invest $10K for 2% equity." Two years later, Epic acquires them. Your stake? $250K—for spotting what non-clinicians missed.

🔍 Trifecta MD’s Take: Why This Matters for Women Physicians

We’re systematically underpaid for our expertise. Angel investing flips the script:

• Capitalize on your clinical IQ (no extra hours)

• Fund innovations you believe in (mission-driven wealth)

• Diversify beyond the market (own what you understand)

Part 2: Should Doctors Be Angel Investing?

"The Truth No One Tells You: Avoiding Risk Is Riskier"

At Trifecta MD retreats, we see brilliant physicians stuck in financial learned helplessness:

• "I’ll just work harder" → Burnout

• "Index funds are safe" → Lagging wealth

• "I don’t have time" → Lost opportunities

The Data:

• Women physicians peak earnings later (career breaks, pay gaps)

• Traditional retirement accounts won’t close the gap

• Angel investing offers asymmetric upside (small bets, big wins)

💡 My Turning Point

After years of:

• Giving free advice to startups

• Watching male colleagues profit from "our" ideas

I invested $5K in a FemTech company founded by an OB/GYN. Three years later: $75K return. Now I teach physicians to do the same.

Trifecta MD Rule #1:
Only invest in problems you’ve treated personally. (Your clinical edge.)
