Closing the Capital Gap
The stats consistently show women-led companies consistently deliver better results, and yet only 1.3% of venture-backed companies are founded and led by women. Gaining access to seed, angel, and venture capital is a critical part of closing the gender imbalance in the next generation of companies. This talk will outline the capital needs of growing companies, how to get about raising it, and share stores of success and failure along the way.
