We have collected a wide range of freebies, contests, accelerators, online communities, and VCs designed for student tech founders. I have been researching this both to support Versatile VC ’s portfolio companies and also as part of research for my new book, To University and Beyond: Launch Your Career in High Gear. 1) Your school.

There has been little movement in the amount of VC dollars going to women-founded companies since 2012. Though by no means does this mean that women aren’t doing incredible work in the field and it’s only right that women founders receive their fair share of VC investment. Venture capital is far from a level playing field.

There were a lot of requests for us to turn our mentorship program into a physical accelerator with a fund, office space and full-time staff. Throughout all of these years I was a full-time VC so Launchpad really came out of evenings and weekends for me. What next for Launchpad? So what next? But my prediction?
