We will talk to Blue Startups alumni Liza Rodewald with Instant Teams, Blue Startups mentor and Paulette Jencks, and Blue Startups investor network members Aubrie Pagano with Alpaca VC and Trish Costello with Portfolia about investing in female founded and led companies. With all of the focus on this underrepresented population in the startup world – how have things shifted? How have they stayed the same? What are some keys to leveling the playing field in a more permanent way? Why is it important to do so?
