312: Diversity in the Deal Room: How Sarah Chambless at Fenwick and LGBTVC’s Board Is Changing the Game for Female Founders

 
Welcome to another empowering episode of CEO School. Today, we’re thrilled to have Sarah Chambless as our guest, a seasoned attorney passionate about supporting women through every critical stage of their business, from inception to exit.

In this episode, we tackle the stark realities of venture capital funding, where a disproportionate share goes to male-dominated teams, leaving female founders fighting for less than 3% of the overall pie. Sarah offers invaluable advice, from the importance of thorough due diligence when choosing investors to the nitty-gritty of securing your business with solid legal foundations, including employment agreements, IP protection, and founder’s agreements.

We also explore the personal side of being a CEO, discussing the critical need for self-care and a supportive network. Plus, Sarah and Suneera get real about the financial strategies that can propel a business from surviving to thriving, emphasizing the point where transitioning from a small-scale operation to a multi-million dollar business is critical in terms of financial advice and planning.

Get ready for a session full of practical tips, heartfelt advice, and empowering discussions designed to equip you with the knowledge to lead your business with confidence and support. Let’s learn, grow, and succeed together at CEO School.
