Women are underrepresented; they are excluded from starting businesses, running companies, and from being appointed to the board of directors. We are not ok with this. Sure, there are many factors at play (not least the continuing unconscious bias of society towards women) but we think that language and confidence have a big part to play.

​So subscribe to our weekly podcast where we hope to change the world one conversation at the time. Listen to us break down the jargon and make the start-up world more inclusive. Each week, we will chat about a different topic, everything from setting up a company, to getting money from investors, to selling your company.
