Tanya Rolfe on Bridging the Money Gap for Female Founders and Investors

For the last five years Tanya Rolfe has been on a mission to get more money into the hands of women. This started with the Ladies Investment Club in Singapore and Her Capital; a seed venture fund investing in female founders in Southeast Asia. Her current projects are Harriet; which supports female founders seeking to access capital and Sophia; a for-women by-women financial education platform.
In this episode we talk about:

1. The opportunity that gender lens investing presents.
2. Why we need more diverse fund managers, because despite data showing female founded businesses perform really well, VCs are risk averse and analyse businesses based on what has 'worked' in the past or products that they would use themselves.
3. Data shows women gravitate more to impact investments and ESG investments. This means that everybody benefits when women control more money.
4. Women control a third of the world's wealth. It's not enough (considering we represent 51% of the global population) but it's still $93 trillion.
5. How to talk to children about money. Did you know most of our money mindset is developed by the age of 7? (*welp*)
