Ep. 053: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs

EconomyCareer
Written By Stuart McNish

Guest: Vicki Saunders, SheEO

Vicki Saunders is the driving force behind SheEO, an investment fund aimed at empowering women entrepreneurs through “Radical Generosity.”

Saunders encouraged 1,000 women to donate $1,000 each to an investment fund that will be shared by 10 companies, owned and operated by female entrepreneurs. “I’m here to solve a problem,” says Saunders. “Women have been dramatically under-financed, under-supported and under-celebrated as entrepreneurs.”

She says SheEO is about much more than just funding – it’s about building networks, it’s about mentorship and it’s about sharing resources.
