Our very special screening event of Show Her The Money is quickly approaching on May 2nd.  I would like to take a moment to share some words from founder Jessi Roesch, as she was brought to tears when she recently saw the movie.             “💰Show Her The Money profiles entrepreneurs and investors who embody the winning track record of women in venture. Despite barriers to entry in fundraising (women raise less than 2% of venture capital funds compared to their male counterparts), women deliver more than twice as much per dollar invested than firms founded by men (Boston Consulting Group), among other staggering results. While there are moments of struggle that hit me in a way that perhaps only founders can understand (hence the tears), the film is by no means a pity party: It defiantly calls investors to wake up to the potential of female founders and invites more women to take advantage of the wealth building opportunities of venture. 🌈🪙” This Star-Studded screening event is not to be missed. It is an amazing and unique opportunity to go behind the scenes of the VC world with the movie, our panel and following conversations. And for those of you who are wondering….there will be food and drinks too!   Check out the trailer here - https://lnkd.in/gi6J33Yw. This trailer is powerful, and in my view, the movie is 10x more powerful.    VC plays a critical role in our economy and our businesses, making so many innovations possible. And, VC funds provide investors with the opportunity to make a difference in their lives as well, naturally with some risk-taking.  This event provides the opportunity for an inside track to the VC world. We will have many founders and VC Funds present. This is a great networking opportunity as well! Thank you Nicholas Koutouras for making this happen here in Los Angeles and at FEI around the country. Thank you Jessi Roesch for sharing your heart! #ShowHerTheMoney #SHTM #VC #Leadership #Money #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion # Naseem Sayani (she/her) Pocket Sun Catherine Gray Josh Schimmels, MBA Dawn Lafreeda Vicky Pasche Ky Dickens https://lnkd.in/gU2WNtuf FEILA Members, Partners, and first-time qualified guests may attend at $15. Costs for other approved guests is $69.
