A special IWD message from Elizabeth Tufegdzich

Advice that has always stuck with me is ‘Surround yourself with women who would mention your name in a room full of opportunities’. I not only strive to have that type of support system around me, but I aspire to be that woman for others. Equality for women has come a long way, but there’s still lots of work to do. The amount of VC funding raised by women founded startups significantly dropped in 2022 – yet almost half of start-ups in 2021 were formed by women. It starts with us; women supporting women, lifting each other up, presenting opportunities, having hard conversation, investing in women-led companies, and making diversity across our team non-negotiable.

It’s an amazing time to be a woman in business, and we are coming for everything we deserve!
