Radically Yours by Radhika

"Our culture is not good for women particularly in the United States", Julie Castro Abrams, Co-founder and CEO of Limitless Bridge Capital

👉🏻 Julie has ran an organization empowering women through microfinance and microenterprise for 11 years. She discovered the diverse needs and untapped potential of individuals within the system.

👉🏻 She has witnessed the transformation of women in executive roles, no longer needing to conform to masculine norms and she therefore advocated for more women in leadership positions and evolved structures.

👉🏻 At 25, Julie was hired as the CEO of the music community for low income children.

👉🏻 Being a General Partner at How Women Invest and a CEO at How Women Lead, Julie has witnessed that only 2% of companies founded by women get venture backing, though 40% of companies were founded by women, and they generate 26% greater return than those founded by men.

👉🏻 Julie now manages a venture fund supporting women entrepreneurs, with over $25,000 invested over 4 years. Passionately, she creates connections and cultivates a community for women in top executive positions.

👉🏻 Julie believes that women entrepreneurs are the future of venture capital funding and highlights the success and sustainability of women-led venture companies.

"People have very different needs and huge potential to impact the system."

Meet Radhika Gupta, our very own epitome of the idea behind "Wiping out the norm"

She is the author of a very inspiring book, "Limitless", which teaches us to get up, adapt and move on quickly in different phases of life.

Coming from family where her father worked as a diplomat in public sector, she could travel and stay at different places around the world such as Newyork, Italy, Nigeria etc. This gave her a sense of understanding of a variety of cultures and people which cultivated a flexible mindset. She comes from a family that was not financially stable and hence was devoid of certain privileges.

Meet the only venture capitalist in Palestine - Ambar Amleh, Managing Partner at Ibtikar Fund.

Ambar's journey as a venture capitalist was very unplanned. She studied marketing and focused on international and economic development.

Despite her background in economic development, she was doing political development and ended up working for a businessman in Palestine.

Entering the world of investing:

Ambar says,"40% of our founders are women, and that's what I am really proud of"

One of the female founders that Ambar is proud of is the founder of Tawazon, the first Arabic Meditation App. This company is featured by Apple and chosen by Amazon Alexa.

"Venture capitalism is a business where one day you might be doing really well and ready to exit, and the next day you might have lost it all," says Ambar.

Ambar's journey as a venture capitalist is inspiring. She has proved that with determination and hard work, one can make a difference in a challenging country like Palestine.

With the Ibtikar Fund, she and her team are creating opportunities for entrepreneurs in Palestine to bring their ideas to life and create companies that can expand beyond Palestine's borders.
