Think with Lucie
by Lucie Repova
This podcast focuses on 2 areas - 1. female founders and 2. discussion of topics with people who have different viewpoints.Why?1. Only 2% of VC funding goes to female founders despite venture investment being at record highs. This data makes a strong case that gender bias persists among startup investors. 2. In the age of social media, our news feeds are creating echo chambers that confirm our bias, making us less tolerant of other opinions. This increases social and political polarization, and leads to extremism. Let's change this!
