The Newsletter · Welcome
The headline says she raised. This is everything before it.
Every episode I sit down with female founders who have raised, and the investors writing the cheques, and send you three takeaways you can use.
Fundraising is the biggest unknown for founders.For women, it is the biggest blocker.
2% of venture capital goes to female-led businesses,and the how of raising stays behind closed doors.Next season, I sit down with women who have raised, and the investors who funded them, and ask exactly what happened.Then I take that conversation apart and send you three takeaways you can use. The newsletter launches in September. Join the list.

The Untold Series
How the money wasactually made.
Untold takes women whose success you already know and looks at the part you do not. Who funded them, what they own, what they sold and what they kept. Luana Lopes Lara raised billions across six rounds at Kalshi and still holds 12%. Margot Robbie never took outside equity at all and owns LuckyChap with her three co-founders. Two routes to the same place. Every episode ends with the part you can apply to your own.
