How to be a Futures-Friendly Social Investor with Erika Brodnock

In this episode of Be & Think in the House of Trust, I loved listening to Erika Brodnock, an angel investor, a UK-based award-winning entrepreneur, CEO and founder of Kinhub, a philanthropist and behavioural scientist, on a mission to create fairer, more equitable workplaces for everyone. Erika works at the intersection of technology, well-being and product development, and she made it a purpose to find and clear paths out of outdated systems. She is the author of Extend Ventures’ Diversity Beyond Gender, the co-author of the TRANSPARENT Framework, and recently Better Venture. In the House of Trust, we discuss obstacles around diversity in the investment world, the barriers to entry for minoritised entrepreneurs seeking funding, and practical ways forward. Plus, Erika shares her vision of a fairer, more equal future. Highlights from this episode: (04:15) This is the biggest issue with venture funding (08:03) The importance of getting to know people (10:57) The wealthiest place on Earth are the graveyards (15:44) Rising tides raise all boats (18:28) The white ally (20:21) What will the world be like in 2033? Useful Links Connect with Erika Brodnock on LinkedIn Kinhub https://www.kinhub.com/employersExtend Ventures https://www.extend.vc/diversity-beyond-gender(Report) TRANSPARENT Framework(Book) Better VentureConnect with Servane:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/servanemouazan/ Website: https://servanemouazan.co.uk Subscribe to Conscious Innovation updates: http://eepurl.com/hp0h55 Podcast Music Production from Series 04 Ep 45: Milig Mouazan-Strachan
