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.
