Only 2% of VC funding goes to women founders.
This isn’t shocking news for Jessie Shipman, Founder & CEO of Fluincy, given women and other minority groups don’t fit the “pattern” when it comes to a VCs vision of a startup opportunity worth investing in.
In this episode of Ashley & Katrine's Infinite Revenue Playlist, Jessie breaks down the reality women face as founders by sharing her own journey of entrepreneurship.
According to Jessie, while male founders typically must only prove they have potential (a creative idea), women founders are expected to prove they have an innovative idea plus the ‘right experience’ because they’re viewed as ‘higher risk’ investments purely for not fitting the historic Silicon Valley "pattern".
Join us for the latest episode as Jessie discusses both the challenges and rewards of building her own business, emphasizing that the freedom starting your own business brings outweighs the extra hurdles a woman may have to jump to get there.
