A SEAT AT THE TABLE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH

TO CHANGE THE GAME FOR WOMEN FOUNDERS.

The seat is only a tiny piece, and offers a false sense of progress. Here’s why:

After working with women founders around the globe for a decade, we’ve noticed a critical lack of understanding that contributes to the funding gap for female-founded companies: By the time those founders stand in a pitch room to share their ideas, they’ve already had to face significant challenges to be there — many of them invisible. Things like social conditioning, parental conversations, perfectionism, and all the gauntlets that stand in the way of their confidence being fully expressed.

If we want to ensure long-term success for women founders — and those who invest in them — we need to ensure those founders are fully equipped for leadership and scale in the way that is unique to them and their life experienceThe road to realizing their vision can be lonely, and mentorship can be hard to find.

So while most startup programs focus on the success of the product (as they should), we’re focused on the success of the person — and in this case, the woman — behind the product.
