How to get funding for your business? with June Angelides

The UK Rose Review recently highlighted that only 1% of all venture funding goes to businesses founded by all-female teams. The British Business Bank’s UK Venture Capital & Female Founders report found that “for every £1 of VC investment, all-female founder teams get less than 1p.”So we know there is a real need for funding to be directed towards female entrepreneurs, but how do we get more money for women-led businesses? Joining me today is June Angelides, an early stage investor at Samos Investments and an entrepreneur herself, as founder of the social enterprise, Mums in Technology, which was the first child-friendly coding school in the UK. June is a Mum, a Wife, a Founder, an Investor and an all round role model passionate about using her influence to create opportunities for under-represented groups in tech and getting more money into the hands of female founders. In this episode June gives us a behind the scenes look at the role of an investor (she’s a venture capitalist), what the funding process entails for both founders and investors and where to start if you’re considering funding for your business.  You can connect with June and see more of her work at; Instagram @juneangelidesTwitter @JuneAngelidesYou can learn more about Vestpod and subscribe to our newsletter here: https://www.vestpod.com.
