294: How To Access Capital For Your Business (w/ Olivia Owens of IFundWomen of Color)

Today in the guest chair we have Olivia Owens. Olivia is the Vice President of Entrepreneur Success at IFundWomen and the Creator of IFundWomen of Color. IFundWomen is the go-to funding marketplace for women-owned businesses and the people who want to support them with access to capital, coaching, and connections.

In January of 2020, Olivia developed IFundWomen of Color, a program dedicated to advancing entrepreneurs of color by addressing the unique pain points diverse founders face when it comes to accessing capital for their businesses. This funding ecosystem is designed to empower early-stage, women entrepreneurs and bridge the funding gap for women of color.

In this episode:

• Olivia shares what IFundWomen is + how & why she started IFundWomen of Color within the established company.
• We dispel myths about what crowdfunding is, who should crowdfund, and what kind of network you need to have to have a successful crowdfunding campaign. 
• We speak about the mental blocks that prevent some of us from launching a crowdfunding campaign, and so much more
