The Look Back: Keith Newman interviews top Entrepreneurs and Influencers on "Their Startup Journey"
Robyn Cohen
In this episode of The Look Back, we catch up with mover and shaker Robyn Cohen, CEO and Founder of the W Collective - a Utah based group focused on elevating women in entrepreneurship - and she summarizes her goal in a few key data points; As of last year, 16% of GPs at VC firms with $50M+ in AUM are women. We need more women in VC and angel investors! We need more WOC starting businesses and raising money! We need more funding going to companies in the greater Intermountain West and not just the coastal states.
Robyn is an accomplished professional with 15+ years' experience specializing in operations, business development and event production, having worked with startups, medium-sized businesses, as well as large corporations. Most notably, in 2017 she was hired as Managing Director at the Impact Hub Salt Lake, one of the city’s first co-working spaces. Within her first six months, she increased revenue by 60%, achieved 100% occupancy, and negotiated an exclusive partnership with Slack to do an experiential marketing campaign in Q4 of 2017.
