The Startup Ladies ditched the pitch. To avoid pattern matching, each founder is paired with a seasoned entrepreneur or senior executive from a major company. These proven entrepreneurs/execs interview the founder (think Oprah-style interview) and ask questions that will allow founders to cover the content in their decks.
It is the interviewer’s job to champion the founder, get to know who is in the room, and ask questions of the investors to ultimately help founders secure investment, and be introduced to prospective investors, advisors, and clients. These moderated conversations are more personal, and relaxed, and allow the audience to engage with the founder in a supportive way. Each interviewer goes through extensive training alongside the woman business owner with whom they have been matched.
To date, more than $850,000 has been invested into founders through The Startup Ladies investor community.
