In 2022, Crunchbase reported that global venture funding totaled $445 billion, a 35% year-over-year decline from the $681 billion startups raised in 2021. This represented an even steeper pullback than was experienced after the 2008 financial crisis or dot-com bubble, per Preqin data reported by Bloomberg. Yet, early stage startups at the Angel/Pre-Seed, Seed, Series Seed and Series A levels have remained relatively insulated from market volatility to date. How does that affect early stage startups’ negotiating power? What terms should a startup founder look out for in negotiating their raise? Lindsey S. Mignano presented on this topic at TechCrunch Disrupt on both days, September 20 and 21, 2023.

June 15, 2023 - 6:00PM - 8:00PM PST - "Being a Change Agent in the Business World" for the Junior League of San Francisco
Lindsey S. Mignano and Junior League of San Francisco Professional Women's Committee Chair, Sabrina Raphael, presented on a panel alongside Ashley Davila, Chief of Staff at Butter Payments, and Danielle D'Agostaro of WVV Capital, regarding the state of the industry for women in startups and venture capital firms. Harvard Business Review reminds us that even in 2023, "Venture capital is a man’s game. Women are massively under-represented among both venture-backed entrepreneurs and VC investors, with companies founded solely by women receiving less than 3% of all venture capital investments and women accounting for less than 15% of check-writers" in venture capital firms. The industry needs to improve, but there's been minimal historical improvement despite a lot of talk. What can be done? Lindsey S. Mignano discussed the current state of the market for female-founded venture-funded technology companies and women in venture capital firms, and how the industry can diversify its founder and venture base. This event is invite only.
