In Their Words: Local Female Founders and Funders Share Their Experiences and Lessons

Following an inspiring screening of SHOW HER THE MONEY, which follows four visionary female founders as they endure uphill battles to turn their ideas into reality with the financial support and mentorship of female funders, we hope you’ll join us to hear from female founders and their financial supporters in our local community.

IN THIS candid and insightful panel, we’re bringing together both sides of the entrepreneurial journey—female founders who have built their businesses from the ground up and the funders who believed in them. Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to pitch for funding—or how funders decide who gets the green light? We’ll dive deep into the founder-funder relationship, exploring the unique challenges of starting and scaling a business and what funders truly value when making investment decisions. This conversation will bridge both perspectives, offering invaluable insights into how women in business can collaborate to create lasting impact locally and beyond.
