EP 348 - Just 3% of angel investments in Europe went to all female founding teams last year. Last time we checked, half the population was female (women also own 50% of the wealth in the UK!). Sarah Turner, CEO and cofounder of investment network Angel Acadame, gives us an education about how we can redress the balance and get rid of the Silicon Valley style macho bullshit..We talk about how the Government fundamentally misunderstands the value of entrepreneurs, why nobody, left or right, is really listening to business and why it’s perfectly OK to pitch for investment when you are pregnant.Chapters:00:00 BWB with Sarah Turner01:15 Meet Sarah: CEO and Co-Founder of Angel Academe02:09 Challenges and Opportunities in Female-Led Startups03:31 The Importance of Female Angel Investors05:33 Unconscious Bias and Communication Differences07:16 The Silicon Valley Model and Female Entrepreneurs07:57 FemTech Unicorns and Gender Disparities09:11 Angel Academe's Mission and Operations10:26 The Role of Women in Investment and Business18:18 Balancing Family and Entrepreneurship26:54 The Current UK Investment Climate32:05 Addressing Misconceptions in Business Law32:52 Challenges Faced by Entrepreneurs33:55 Small Business Struggles with HMRC36:05 Angel Academe: Mission and Vision38:16 Gender Dynamics in Investment41:01 The Importance of Adequate Funding42:41 Best Practices for Angel Networks46:59 Success Stories from Angel Academy53:46 Quickfire Round: Getting to Know Sarah56:58 Wrap Upbusinesswithoutbullshit.meWatch us on YouTubeFollow us:InstagramTikTokLinkedinTwitterIf you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - [email protected] is powered by Oury Clark
