A podcast for entrepreneurial women: founders, builders, changemakers shaping the world we live in.

Female founders, investors and startup ecosystem enablers share their stories, knowledge, fears and failures, moments of growth and pieces of advice.
With these conversations, we want to inspire more women to build their own businesses.
