Business Without Bullsh-t Female Investment Madness: Redressing the balance with Sarah Turner of Angel Academe
EP 348 - Just 3% of angel investments in Europe went to all female founding teams last year. Last time we checked, half the population was female (women also own 50% of the wealth in the UK!).
Sarah Turner, CEO and cofounder of investment network Angel Acadame, gives us an education about how we can redress the balance and get rid of the Silicon Valley style macho bullshit..
We talk about how the Government fundamentally misunderstands the value of entrepreneurs, why nobody, left or right, is really listening to business and why it’s perfectly OK to pitch for investment when you are pregnant.
