Navigating Entrepreneurship as a Woman Founder
Did you know that the average of all female founders’ share of VC funding was 2.3%? Nearly three-quarters of U.S. VC firms do not have a single female investing partner. Bias is alive and well.
This was a candid discussion about being a woman entrepreneur and the special challenges presented. Three startup woman entrepreneurs shared their experiences and suggested ways to overcome the inherent biases that led them to succeed. Janine Sengstack, PhD CEO and Co-Founder of Junevity, Ivana Vasic, PhD CEO & Founder of Vitra Labs, and Katherine Grill, PhD CEO & Co-founder of Neolth, make up the panel. Stephanies Marrus Moderated.
