Listen Later

In this compelling episode, Laura Baldwin, Managing Partner of RevTech Ventures, brings her extensive investment experience to a candid discussion about the stark realities and real opportunities in funding female founders. Drawing from her decade-plus experience as an angel investor and her current role leading a $10 million fund focused on women-led retail technology ventures, Laura explores the paradox of superior returns from female-founded companies despite receiving only 2% of venture capital. Through probing questions from Gary and Jill, the conversation evolves into a strategic discussion about transforming fundraising approaches - shifting from individual investor cultivation to pursuing major institutional commitments. The episode offers unique insights into how traditional fundraising models might be reimagined to better serve both investors and female entrepreneurs, while highlighting the untapped potential in the intersection of retail technology and female leadership.
