Podcast episode of Tacos and Tech (host Neal Bloom) interviewing Amy Chang, a San Diego–based former corporate strategy executive at AMN Healthcare who became an entrepreneur and angel investor. Amy describes her path from CPA and strategy roles to leaving AMN after 14 years, beginning angel investing in 2015, experiencing both a founder-embezzlement disaster and subsequent successes, and building a diversified portfolio (about 34 companies). She discusses investment lessons (start small, diversify, favor paths to profitability), highlights portfolio companies (Delta Nutrissentials/Essential82, Concert Health, Backstage Studios, Trials AI, CB Therapeutics, Vigilance Risk Solutions, etc.), and notes she consciously tracks founder diversity and portfolio metrics. Episode closes with a personal note (favorite taco: battered fish tacos at Lahaina's, Pacific Beach).
