Our last fund we raised was in 2012 and we began investing it in April of 2012. Our 3rd fund began investing in March 2009 (raised in 2008) and our 4th fund started in April 2012 so this fund will naturally begin investing around March / April 2015. Wait, didn’t you just raise a fund? Was it hard to raise the fund?

and I thought if we brought the community together for common purpose we could create more of a sense of community to help new entrepreneurs get funded, assemble teams, raise profiles and help with biz dev, product, etc. Throughout 2012 & 2013 we funded many companies and then pulled together a second fund.

There has been little movement in the amount of VC dollars going to women-founded companies since 2012.

VC funds must look at ways they can bring in more women decision-makers, all the way up to the top. Get funded, as a woman.

The first day of 2012 seems the perfect day to do so. Entrepreneur Dinners. One of my favorite things to do is to organize entrepreneur dinners when I travel. I usually ask somebody local who knows the local scene to invite out 10-15 local entrepreneurs who might be interested to meet up and I agree to pick up the tab.

44:35 – Best advice for aspiring Indian founders. These people who never had the opportunity to start a store came onto our platform and became entrepreneurs for the first time, because we do not need them to invest any money in working capital or setting up an offline shop. 42:45 – Big problems worth solving in India.
