This episode features a conversation with Naseem Sayani, the co-founder and managing director of Emmeline Ventures.
We discuss the importance of women getting financially literate and investing, especially in women-led ventures.
Naseem explains that only a small fraction of venture capital goes to women-founded companies and argues that getting more women involved as check writers could help bridge this gap.
She also emphasizes the importance of investing in women's health and how building data-driven startups could significantly impact women's health outcomes.
The discussion ends with strategies women can use to start investing, even in relatively small amounts.
