Cecilia Zapata-Harms
The task of being a female founder is a weighty responsibility. As a woman in the business world, it can be challenging to consistently show up as your true self due to the multitude of factors affecting your life. Extensive research has shown that running a business as a woman is significantly more difficult compared to our male counterparts. During the Women, Life and Science April 2024 Conference's Female Founders Segment, our esteemed panel members delved into the persistent challenges faced by women founders today. From a female investor's perspective, they also discussed the essential qualities that investors seek in potential investment opportunities. The panel comprised of notable industry figures such as Lindsey Calcutt, PhD, Co-founder and CEO of Incora Health, Greenville, SC and Victoria Palatnik, CEO of Raw Ventures UK.
