    "Make sure you're part of a network that supports female entrepreneurs. Do not do it on your own." 🌍 100 Women, One Mission: Dr. Anino Emuwa on Power and Access! 🎙 In this episode of the InvestHer Podcast, host Anne Ravanona speaks with Anino Emuwa, Managing Director of Avandis Consulting and Founder of 100 Women@Davos, about dismantling the gender funding gap, the systemic barriers women entrepreneurs face when accessing capital, and why advancing women's leadership demands action at every level — from boardrooms to government policy. 🌍 Discover how Anino's journey from corporate banker at Citibank to global advocate for women's leadership spans continents, decades, and disciplines. Armed with a Doctorate in Business Administration focused on overcoming barriers to entrepreneurial finance, she turned a WhatsApp group of women at the World Economic Forum in Davos into a thriving global community — 100 Women@Davos — that amplifies women leaders on the world stage and inside the rooms where decisions are made. 💡 Don't miss this episode with actionable insights on: • Why less than 2% of VC funding goes to female-led businesses — and how the culture of Silicon Valley's origins created a self-perpetuating DNA of exclusion • The Harvard study that revealed how women founders are asked defensive questions while male founders are asked about opportunity — and why bias, not logic, is the real barrier • Why grants are massively underutilised by women entrepreneurs — and how even small grants can act as a credibility stamp that opens further doors • The critical importance of understanding what type of finance you actually need — and why working capital, angel investment, and grants deserve as much attention as VC • How Anino built 100 Women@Davos from a WhatsApp group to a global paid membership community — entirely purpose-driven and organically grown • Why governments must step in as active partners to fix the funding gap — and the powerful UK precedent of an 11-year Bank of England initiative that proved systemic change is possible • The investor case: why female-led businesses exit faster at higher value, make excellent creditors, and represent one of the most undervalued return opportunities in the market today Learn how to access funding, build your network, and advocate for the systemic change that will finally close the gender gap — on your own terms. 🔗 Listen Now | 🎧 Apple Podcasts | Spotify | ▶️ Full Show Notes About Anino Dr. Anino Emuwa is a global expert on women's leadership working at the intersection of emerging technologies, entrepreneurship, and inclusion.

    EP60: Money as a Tool: Julianne Zimmerman's Investing Playbook
    2026/07/07

    "Whether you're a funder or a founder... we all have more levers than we tend to think of. Use all the levers."

    💰 Money as a Tool: Julianne Zimmerman's Investing Playbook!

    🎙 In this episode of the InvestHer Podcast, host Anne Ravanona speaks with Julianne Zimmerman, Co-CEO of Adasina Social Capital, about the current state of global startup funding in 2025, the generational wealth transfer reshaping who controls capital, and why social justice investing is not only possible — it's essential.

    🌍 Discover how Julianne went from aerospace engineer and two-time NASA astronaut finalist to clean energy co-founder to venture capitalist — and ultimately to Co-CEO of Adasina Social Capital, a public equities impact asset manager with a global social justice investing strategy. Along the way, she was repeatedly told her ideas were impossible. She proved them wrong every time. Now she's on a mission to help founders and funders alike recognise every lever available to them — and use them all.

    💡 Don't miss this episode with powerhouse insights on:

    • Why less than 2% of global capital still goes to female-led founder teams — and what's shifting beneath the surface

    • The generational wealth transfer: trillions moving to women, and what that means for the future of investing

    • Why our over-reliance on venture capital has distorted the entrepreneurial ecosystem — and which models are making a comeback

    • The hottest sectors for 2025: distributed energy, regenerative agriculture, circular manufacturing, employee ownership, and more

    • Why AI is only as fair as the assumptions it's built on — and why regulating it now, even though we're late, still matters

    • Julianne's core advice to founders: know your why, define your version of success, and never just "take the money and figure it out later"

    • How every founder and funder can use ALL their financial levers — from where your money sleeps at night to pressuring your pension plan

    Learn how to use money as a tool for systems change — and build a future worth passing on.

  • EP 59: with Chloe Guilfoyle, Founder of Avalon

    EP 59: with Chloe Guilfoyle, Founder of Avalon
    2026/06/30

    "Find your people, find your tribe, find your believers — because they exist."

    🏰 The Guild Is Open: Chloe Guilfoyle Rewrites the Rules for Founders!

    🎙 In this episode of the InvestHer Podcast, host Anne Ravanona speaks with Chloe Guilfoyle, Founder of Avalon, about cooperative entrepreneurship, raising funds as a woman in France, and building a founder community rooted in strategy, well-being, and collective intelligence.

    🌍 Discover how Chloe shut down her first venture-backed startup — not from lack of ambition, but from isolation and the absence of aligned support — and channelled every hard lesson into building Avalon, a hybrid entrepreneurial guild with a physical hub in Paris and a growing digital community now 200+ members strong. From leading France's top female investor network, Femmes Business Angels, to bootstrapping her pre-seed round and securing half her 300k target exclusively from women investors, Chloe is proving that cooperation, not competition, is the new competitive advantage.

    💡 Don't miss this episode with actionable insights on:

    • Why Chloe shut down her first startup — and what she'd do radically differently the second time around

    • The funding biases women face in France: from risk-heavy questioning to being asked about family plans mid-pitch

    • How leading a 200-person female investor network changed everything about the way she pitches and builds relationships

    • Why she bootstrapped Avalon for six months before raising — and how arriving "de-risked" changed investor conversations

    • The power of warm intros and LinkedIn visibility in building a pipeline of aligned, women-led investors

    • What makes Avalon different from accelerators, incubators, and co-working spaces — and why "no selection committee" matters

    • Her vision to bridge Paris, London, and Casablanca into one decentralised, cooperation-first entrepreneurial ecosystem

    Learn how to build a fundable, scalable business — and a life you don't burn out from — on your own terms.
