Multi-passionate entrepreneurs Rebecca Minkoff and Ali Wyatt are co-founders of The Female Founder Collective, an amazing community of like-minded women who crave education on how to develop their business ideas. Members have access to events, programs, and workshops specifically designed to fill in the information gap that so many female entrepreneurs experience.  In our conversation, they explain why it’s harder for women to raise capital and share stories of how they continue to work through those financial challenges. They also give advice for female founders at all different stages of business and chat about what they’re most looking forward to at the upcoming Female Founders Day event.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Where the idea for The Female Founder Collective came from  The main reasons why women struggle to raise money and secure loans  Re-thinking the structure and impact of events  Where you might be stalling your own growth  Fully embracing what it means to be a woman in business  RESOURCES Get 15% off General Admission tickets using the code FFDxLori at checkout: femalefoundercollective.com/ffd   Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!
