Take a listen inspirational conversation with host Natalie Benamou, Founder of HerCsuite®, with Julie Castro Abrams, CEO of How Women Lead and Managing Partner of How Women Invest. Julie shares her transformative journey from supporting the funding of 6,000 women’s businesses to leading initiatives that enhance women's representation in the C-suite, on corporate boards, and in the venture capital sphere.
Highlights:
- Julie highlights the critical underrepresentation of women in venture capital, noting that only 1.8% of all venture funding goes to women-founded companies. She shares the impact of How Women Invest, which sets a manageable investment threshold, opening doors for women to become venture investors.
- The episode sheds light on an initiative by How Women Lead aimed at preparing women for leadership and board roles. Over 3,000 participants this year gained insights into navigating the challenges of securing top-tier positions.
- Natalie introduces HerCsuite® Boards Mastermind and HerCsuite® Boards Retreat as complementary programs that build on the momentum of #GetOnBoard Week, specifically designed to help women secure board positions on both private and publicly traded companies.
Inspirational Quotes by Julie Castro Abrams:
- "Look around, are there five women you can encourage today? Tell them, 'I believe in you. Consider stepping up now so you're ready to get in the game when it’s right.' There's nothing better I can do for a woman."
- "In the venture space, only 1.8% of all venture money goes to companies founded by women. 80% of all venture funding went to companies with no women in the founding teams."
- "Are there five women you can support and say, 'I believe in you. I think you can stretch and I'll have your back. We need you governing in this way.' That's what we need to do for each other. If we do that, then we really rise together."
