Navigating the Waters Episode 12 - The Disparity of Funding for Female Founders

Hi, I'm Stephanie Mckinney. In this episode, we are delving into the current challenges facing female founders seeking investment.

I chat again with Kim-Adele Randall as we discuss:

- The current position of funding percentages for female founders

- The disparity in the questions asked of female versus male founders during pitches

- The impacts of unconscious bias and how it can silently sabotage the best intentions

Through this series, I will have aspiring guests and answer their questions so we learn together using real-life examples.
