How Women Can Negotiate Better Startup Financing
Wednesday, May 27, 2020, 1pm EDT
Event Overview
Raising capital is a difficult endeavor for anyone who’s trying to get their business off the ground, but it can be especially difficult for female entrepreneurs. Women in the startup world tend to be overly cautious and don’t ask for money as often as their male counterparts.
Neglecting to pursue the funding you need will not only slow the growth of your business, it may even result in you having to quit before your idea gets a chance to flourish.
Understanding how to position your company in the best light and how to create an effective fundraising strategy goes a long way toward turning your great business idea into reality.
