When Women Lead

They have access to less cash, smaller networks, and inherent bias from society; however, women generate more revenue, higher return on investment, and create more value for their investors. Join All Raise CEO, Paige Hendrix Buckner with CNBC Senior Media & Technology Reporter and When Women Lead author Julia Boorstin for a candid conversation about women in tech. During this conversation, Julia will deliver key insights about the unique value proposition of women leaders and actions that both men and women can take to build inclusive businesses that thrive.------

Join All Raise CEO Paige Hendrix Buckner and Cake Ventures Managing Partner Monique Woodard as they discuss the key insights from this powerful report and share actionable advice for investors and founders as they think about funding and building for the massive economic power of women.
