About this Talk

Getting funding is an important step in starting, securing or growing your business, but research shows there is an enormous gender gap on funding. Compared with male counterparts, female entrepreneurs less likely to ask for funding, less likely to receive it and those that get it, will get less of it. A panel of established female founders will share their personal funding stories, including tips, tricks, and lessons learned. We’ll also discuss alternative sources of funding and how to lay the financial groundwork for your business.
