In this episode
Female founders get less than 2% of all VC funding. Svitlanka Sergiichuk Romaniuk of NeoFin and Alexia de Broglie of Your Juno each discuss with Denise why the numbers are so low, things women can do to bring them up (hint: it looks like therapy and sisterhood!) and how investing in building strong founder relationships will build stronger companies with better culture and communication. Listen to the episode to hear:
- How the drive for “more” propels female founders to achieve in business and in life.
- How you don’t have to leave your job to start your dream venture.
- That founders need to pick investors just as much as the reverse, it is a long-term relationship.
- And more sizzling hot insights from Alexia, Svitlanka and Denise!
