Angel Investing with Jeff Koenig

In this episode, Tim Fergestad is joined by Jeff Koenig, a fractional CEO, CFO, and Chair of the Desert Angels investment group. Jeff offers a deep dive into the world of angel investing—what it is, who it’s for, and how it fits into the broader capital landscape. From the early seed stage to eventual exits, Jeff explains the mechanics of startup funding and shares personal insights into why alternative investments can be a powerful hedge in a modern portfolio.

Jeff also opens up about how he stumbled into angel investing, common misconceptions about who belongs in this world, and the importance of community and contribution in venture ecosystems. With experience investing across asset classes and teaching strategic financial planning, Jeff brings clarity and encouragement for those considering their first check—or joining a group like Desert Angels.
