How Women Lead

Ever wondered how some women founders seem to do more with less in the startup world? 🤔 Julie had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Rachel Zayas-Schwartz, CEO of AGED Diagnostics, and her insights are game-changing. They dove deep into: • The practical strategies for attracting investors and scaling a business, even in a tough market. • How a technical background can be a powerful asset in entrepreneurship. • The importance of adapting and pivoting based on real customer feedback and data. • Why investing in women-led companies isn't just a feel-good move, it's a smart investment strategy that delivers results. This episode was created in partnership with the Nasdaq Foundation. Together, we are working to educate, inspire, and engage women from diverse backgrounds on venture investing and entrepreneurship. Did you know that only 2% of venture funding goes to women-led companies? Together, we are working to show that women are the new face of venture investing.
