PowerUp Globally

Many studies, including the recent SCORE’s report, show that entrepreneurs who seek mentorship significantly increase their chances of success, regardless of gender. This highlights why having a strong board of advisors is crucial for any startup at any stage.  A board of advisors provides essential expertise, an external perspective, credibility, accountability, and access to a broader network. Unfortunately, female entrepreneurs typically don’t seek that support. In addition, as evidenced by a study from McKinsey & Company and LeanIn Inc, women have smaller networks than men and spend less face time with senior executives. That is why in the Female Founder Mindset Gym you are getting a mix of peer support and mentorship, in addition to resilience training and Q&A sessions. ➤ Mentorship We are incredibly excited to offer a 3M complimentary access ($150 value) to our strategic partner, The Fourth Effect. The Fourth Effect is a community driven board networking and matchmaking site focused on startup advisory board and investment opportunities. Benefits include educational programming, networking, and the resources you need to scale your company. Members include 3,500 premium users, 2,000 senior executive women (General Counsel, C-Suite, or Sr. VPs) across industry and skill sets, 800+ Startups and Entrepreneurs, 23 Affiliate Funds and 150+ angels, LPs and GPs. ➤ Community   The entrepreneurial journey can be lonely but not with the Female Founder Mindset Gym. Being part of the group is empowering and provides an extra level of support. It also allows you to build more meaningful connections as you meet the same people regularly for 12 weeks in the safe space for 1-2 hours a week. ➤ Inspiration Buddy Every program participant will be paired with one or two other program participants for 5-min weekly check-ins to inspire and support each other.

On Thursday we hosted a great event for early-stage female founders, called "The Emotional Side of Venture Investing - How Do Founders Evaluate Female Founding Teams", with Jeanne Mariani Sullivan, a veteran investor with over 25 years of investing experience. We had more than 200 registrations in under 2 weeks. Because of the demand of this event, 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬, 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐕𝐂𝐬, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥. Please click HERE https://lnkd.in/dfA96MDf to see the recording. As we discussed during event, mindset, knowledge of finance, and mentorship are key to successful fundraising and entrepreneurial success. All the research shows that grit is the single most important determinant of success. As Rubén D. from Mundi Ventures said in this recent post, "The founders are the most consistent factor in the startup journey and consequently a crucial parameter in the due diligence equation... The qualities investors look for are emotional regulation, intrinsic motivation, mental flexibility". Why? Because whatever problem you have can be solved faster with the right mindset because you spend less time being stuck, feeling like a victim or feeling helpless and more time looking for solutions and getting the help that you need. And just like going to the gym, your mind needs constant reminders how to process information in a certain way.

The emotional side of venture investing😱 - an often overlooked, but critical topic in fundraising. A team has always been an important consideration for VC investors. Yet, we typically focus more on product-market fit, traction, market size, and business model, and rarely talk about what exactly they are looking for, beyond track record and relevant experience. All the research to date has shown that it is the team that will ultimately determine whether or not an early-stage venture will succeed as it goes through all the ups and downs, dealing with competition, changing consumer preferences, and pivots. Join me and Mark Gold for an upcoming fireside chat to find out what investors are looking for and what you can do to develop those qualities.  ➡️ Title: “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬?” 📅 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞:June 27th 🕛 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: 12 pm - 1 pm EST 📍 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Zoom ❗️ Free attendance, but the number of tickets is limited.

ANNOUNCING NEW DATES We all know fundraising is tough. We all know that you need a compelling pitch deck, strong numbers, and increasing traction. But here is one more thing that you also need, and which is a 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 part of the due diligence: 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐒𝐄𝐓. As Rubén D. from Mundi Ventures said in this recent post, "The founders are the most consistent factor in the startup journey and consequently a crucial parameter in the due diligence equation... The qualities investors look for are emotional regulation, intrinsic motivation, mental flexibility". I've been working with entrepreneurs for a long time and helped them raise $50M in venture capital. That’s helped me to create the Female Founder Mental Gym. It is a unique accessible 12-week coaching program for early-stage female founders focused on building resilience which will help you develop all these traits so that when investors meet you, they know they met a winner. $𝟏𝟖𝟎, 𝟏𝟐 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬; 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟓-𝟔 𝐩𝐦 𝐄𝐒𝐓, 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲: 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟗𝐭𝐡 - 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟓𝐭𝐡 on 𝐙𝐨𝐨𝐦.
