In this episode of #FounderFriday I’m talking with Dash Tabor from TUBR about her startup fund raising experiences in the UK and US. 

She's been raising on the circuit this year and has dealt with 100s of VCs. As a female founder she has experienced a very gender specific set of questions and rejections. 

It's fascinating hearing how men and women process information differently and there are lessons in here for founders of all flavours and all kinds of #investors.

In the episode we also talk about:

Is there really any funding for under-represented founders?

Pitching tips for female founders

US-UK risk appetite

The lies VCs tell and calling them out

Startup disappointment raising VC too early

Further research that needs to be done

Should VCs change the way they approach female founders?

Tokenism

The one thing that will fix VC

I think we nail the core of the problem. What to do about it is still a work in progress!
