In this episode.

Female founders get less than 2% of all VC funding. Svitlanka Sergiichuk Romaniuk of NeoFin 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.

Key highlights:

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.
