“Currently, the percentage of funding that goes to female entrepreneurs is only around 3%. But fortunately, we're seeing that change." Trendspek co-founder Fiona Church spoke with GWU | GentleWomen's Union about diversity within technology. A former aviation pilot (in an industry where only 5% are female), Fiona speaks about the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs – and how the industry is evolving to be more progressive. "When you don't have female entrepreneurs that are funded to become the future leaders of software companies, we lose that opportunity for them to become role models, to attract more women into the industry, or people from more diverse backgrounds. Fortunately we are now seeing quite a lot of change, where we're receiving support from groups like Apropela (formerly Heads Over Heels) to make industry connections and organically build business." Thank you Claire Quigley BA, GDip and GWU | GentleWomen's Union for hosting us.
