๐ Welcome to Series Z! We are Sarah and Anna, two Gen Z women about to graduate from college and enter the world of Growth Equity ๐ธ
โญ๏ธ Weโre here to share our own personal progress and journeys along with those of our badass mentors. We will bring on guest speakers, all of whom we look up to immensely, to share their own experiences, passions, and interests with us and with YOU.
๐ In our own search for interesting and relevant podcasts, weโve found that most of them for women in finance/career tend to be stiff, too professional, and cater to older audiences. Our goal is to keep it fun, open, and accessible.
๐จ We will be the first ones to admit we are still figuring out what we are doing, and we want to be transparent about that. Please message and engage with us! We want to hear from you.
