Despite Colorado being the number one state in the country for women to start a business and the number two state for women-led businesses, women still face some distinctive challenges.
From mentorship biases to funding gaps, this week’s episode explores those challenges, while highlighting the progress made and the work still needed to ensure equal opportunities for women in entrepreneurship.
The episode features Lindsey Tursi, a real estate broker who transitioned from a career in golf, and Annie VanDan, founder of Asian Avenue Magazine, who shares her experience navigating the funding process. Simone Ross, CEO of the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce, also weighs in on the systemic challenges and the support networks designed to level the playing field.
