Female Investment Madness: Redressing the balance with Sarah Turner of Angel Academe

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.
