It’s a well-known fact that women-led companies raise less money than their male peers. Female Funders — an education platform dedicated to helping women pursue angel investing — hopes to change that. Executive Director Lauren Robinson and her team are helping revolutionize how women find, source and educate the next generation of angel investors. Of course, Robinson’s work and influence extend well beyond Female Funders, she’s also the chief operating officer at Highline BETA, an innovation firm that invests and co-creates ventures with the world’s leading enterprises. As a recognized leader in the Canadian tech and innovation ecosystem, Robinson is helping diversify Canada’s ecosystem one startup at a time and helping more women follow their dreams.
