Dr. Roshawnna Novellus is the founder and CEO of EnrichHER, a platform that allows investors to lend directly to any woman-led business across the country. EnrichHER’s thriving ecosystem is built from Roshawnna’s desire to equip women with the financing, confidence, and community support they need as business-owners. Hear how Roshawnna fights the biases that surround women, whether they’re the challenges she faced as a female engineering student or the idea that women should “keep studying” to get ahead instead of seeking investment.  LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Mogul Watch: How Dr. Roshawnna Novellus Is Changing The Stats On Funding For Black Women Founders At EnrichHER How More Women Can Break the $1 Million Mark article from Forbes In 2018, 1,821 net new women-owned businesses were launched every day.

Om Podcasten

The tech industry is great at talking about the future, especially on podcasts. What we're not so great at is taking the time to understand our past. And that's what this podcast is all about. From the Noyce and Fairchild Semiconductor generation through the founding of social media, the history of Silicon Valley has many lessons for us. And we'll be interviewing the people who lived through these experiences to bring their knowledge to you. You'll get explanations for how we got where we are, which can also suggest where the future might be; along with a few laughs and inside stories from those who lived through it. So pull up a seat and listen to the tales of the past, in which may lie seeds for our future. New Episodes twice a month on Thursdays.
