“I am an Entrepreneur: clear it, take it, own it.” , so Prof. Dr. Maura McAdam at the first live Podcast at Einstein Digital; Future on Nov 24, 2022 in Berlin. Emilia Theye, founder clare&me shared “The biggest misperception to me is that it is an opportunity to be a female founder in yourself. I get that a lot from men.” Two of many highlights from the first hello diversity! Live Podcast, where Pauline Weritz and Franziska Schmitt interviewed both guests in front of an audience. But what does it take that “women in tech” becomes the new normal? The live podcast reflects that there is a need to bridge research and practice, and support each other: (1) “If you have a door open then take someone with you, mentor others, share your network. this is how we can empower each other”, Emilia Theye, founder clare&me. (2) “Higher education plays an important role. Researchers need to be innovative to examine the best approaches that capture the lived experience of women digital entrepreneurs. In fact, we need to up our research game and think about what is the best way on living in digital spaces and then we need to capture that.”, by Prof. Dr. Maura McAdam, Dublin City University. “You have permission today to be an entrepreneur, and take that job”, concludes Maura McAdam. “We need more women on the investment side”, shares Emilia Theye.
