Female Founders & Fundraising: Harnessing the Power of What We Can Control. My Conversation with Jessie Gabriel


Listen Later

I love having conversations with smart, powerful women about money

 

This time, I turn my focus to funding and fundraising. And I am delighted to have Jessie Gabriel as my wingwoman. Jessie Gabriel is founder and CEO of All Places, a first-of-its-kind, mission-driven law firm working to close the gender equity gap in capital markets.

 

Jessie and I covered a lot of ground, including:

 

  • Her “money story” and how this story affected her.
  • How female and female-identifying founders are affected by negative money stories, and how to shift those negative narratives into strategies that get them funded. 
  • How male founders typically think about growth and scale and what we can learn from them (or unlearn from them).
  • How we can focus on those things we can control in fundraising environments that often seem rigged (and NOT in our favor).
  •  

    What I loved most about this conversation was learning how Jessie was raised by a single working mother in Southern California, a woman who struggled economically to provide for her family. In other words, Jessie's success comes with a deep appreciation of how gender norms and unequal access to capital contribute to a systemic lack of opportunities for women-identifying entrepreneurs and executives. Jessie has worked at some of the country’s most prestigious firms, including Cravath, Swaine & Moore and BakerHostetler, where she was the youngest woman to lead her own team and launched the firm’s first Investment Funds practice. Her wisdom and words are solid gold, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
