Details
Have you always been interested in entrepreneurship but find yourself doubting whether you can do it? We'll ‘demystify’ ETA for women who are considering it, and talk about why more of them should consider this path. Up until just a few years ago, women represented fewer than 10% of all traditional search funds raised.
Topics will include (but not limited to):
- Why women make great CEOs in ETA + what’s preventing more from pursuing it (and how to change that)
- Building confidence as a woman leader; navigating imposter syndrome
- Work-life-family balance as an entrepreneur/operator
Panelists are two prominent investors in the ETA space:
- Tatiana Gaspar Mogren: Director at Next Coast Legacy; board members of the Women's Search Network
- Patricia Riopel: Partner at Magnum Capital Partners. First woman to make a successful search exit in Canada; CEO of Scribendi for 6 years
This event is co-sponsored by the Women's Search Network! Founded by Sara Rosenthal and Lacey Wismer in 2019, the network has grown to over 500 members today, ranging from prospective and active searchers to CEOs, investors, service providers, and friends of the WSN.
