This week, I sit down with Marion Siboni, founder of Lacreme de la Stem, to discuss the challenges and opportunities women in technology and entrepreneurship face every day. Marion shares her motivation for founding Lacreme de la Stem, a community for early-stage female founders in STEM, and discusses the importance of supporting women in tech and innovation. We break down the gender bias in funding and the strategies women use to navigate the investment landscape including building a network before you need it, giving before you get, connecting on personal matters, following up promptly, and being clear on your expectations. We discuss the importance of including men in supporting female founders and the value of including unsuccessful founders as mentors. Don't miss out on this conversation!
