‘Women in Tech - How One US City is Bucking the Trend and Climbing the Ranks.’ with Emily Maxie

In this episode, I speak to Emily Maxie, Start Up Marketing Advisor whose vast experience in scaling Seed, Series A, and Series B B2B Tech companies makes this another advice-loaded podcast.  We talk about Raleigh's climb up the ranks in terms of the number of women in tech, and in the number of women who hold C Suite positions in organisations, and we chat about why it is that this metro has beaten the competition from Seattle to San Francisco. We also talk about the issues start ups are having at the moment and the hot topic of women founders and the lack of funding around female-founded companies.  As a seasoned startup executive, Emily Maxie has a proven track record of steering early-stage startups through pivotal growth moments. As Chief Marketing Officer at Very, she scaled revenue from $2M to $26M, securing its position as a category leader. Beyond her corporate achievements, Emily is a vocal advocate for gender equity in tech, frequently sharing her insights through keynote speeches at tech conferences, guest appearances on industry podcasts, and features on news segments, including ABC News.
