Rejection and success in startup, as a woman.

This engaging talk covers my real-life experience of being rejected from 50 investors before finally getting a YES, and ultimately building my dream startup. This talk can be informative for men, to give them a deeper insight as to how their actions and assumptions affect women in the workplace, as well as for women, to give them the inspiration they need to get up and ask for what they deserve. I raised .5M USD for my startup and reached over 1M users within 2 years of launch.
