It was very insightful workshop! 👏🏻
Here are the lies: ❌ #5 is false: Women founders actually take longer to receive their first term sheet, highlighting ongoing challenges in funding equity. ❌ #2 is also false: Women tend to underestimate their skills compared to men, especially in entrepreneurial settings.
