Less than 3% of VC funding goes to women – here’s what female founders can do about that
Female founders – the stats around investment are not in our favour.
Around 2.7% of venture funding goes to women.
I recently interviewed Julia Elliott Brown, CEO and founder of Enter the Arena. We explored the myriad of reasons why that number is so low, including why women are less likely to seek funding in the first place.
For those of you determined to beat the odds, the podcast is also packed with guidance from Julia based on more than 20 years experience in the start-up industry, including:
- How failing to scale led to greater success
- The range of skills entrepreneurs must demonstrate when raising investment – whether they’re male or female
- How Julie helps female founders secure funding to scale their business
- How she prepares her clients for successful investor meetings
- When is the right time for a start-up to raise funding
