Think Like A Female Founder: The Unique Perspective Of Women-Led Businesses

Welcome to Inc's From the Ground Up Summer programming! While we’re hard at work on season two of the show, we wanted to keep bringing you astute conversations , courtesy of our live events throughout the year.
For our first episode, Executive Editor, and cohost of this podcast, Diana Ransom hosts Kate Foster, co-founder and CEO, The Outset; Lisa Bubbers, co-founder, Studs; and Kendra Bracken-Ferguson, founder and CEO, BrainTrust about starting a business is tough for anyone, but women often face additional headwinds, such as limited access to funding and punishing double standards. But these challenges also forge unique strengths: resilience, collaboration, and innovative thinking. This panel at Founders House from this years SXSW celebrates the power of female leadership and shares tips from female founders who’ve overcome these hurdles.

It takes audacity to start a company, grit to grow it, and community to survive the ordeal. Join Inc.
