"My path has not been straight, nor round, to be honest, most of the time there hasn't even been a path to follow. How do you find the courage to do what you dream of when nobody else is there to hype you up? When you don't have the connections? Or when you even don't know what the end goal might be? These are my lessons when breaking new ground in investments. It's a story about how specific women, coincidences, and a stupid question got me to where I am today. And probably what will get me where I am tomorrow."

What is it like to raise a fund as an underrepresented fund manager – investing in underestimated founders? In a fireside chat with Miriam Olsson Jeffery, a Business reporter at Sydsvenskan, Thea Messel, General partner at Unconventional Ventures, will talk about why she thinks there is an untapped potential to invest in.

Fill up with coffee!

An open, down-to-earth discussion about minorities' funding experiences and opportunities in the startup ecosystem.  
Christian Tooley, Carmen Beltran  & Somit Fessehazion will be discussing the privilege of entrepreneurship, intersectionalities in the founder journeys, and what needs to be done in terms of equity to support this new generation of diverse entrepreneurs.

All moderated by Tove Lilliestierna, an investor from Norrsken VC, who are at the forefront of impact investing.

The stories and data are all too real and familiar. When it comes to raising capital, males consistently outperform females. What’s more troubling, despite a lot of concern and advocacy, we really haven’t done much to move the issue forward.
A transformation has not occurred.
Yet.

Obstacles remain unchanged in norms and attitudes. Moreover, some of these obstacles are not discussed or questioned. This leaves women undervalued; they work more and earn less and have fewer choices.

And even Sweden, a country that is considered to represent what is possible for gender equality, faces its own challenges in investing in female founders.

However, while there are obstacles for us to overcome, there is also an energy to achieving gender equality that is Powerful. Connecting. Audacious. Inclusive.

Coming from different backgrounds and experiences within the startup world, Heidi Lindvall, Sandra Wirström & Sami Niemi will be discussing the importance of men as allies in the ecosystem.

While there has been a generational shift in support and a perception of women, the annual startup reports & world policies leave us dumbfounded. What initiatives do we need to see to create a world that works for everyone and how can we support each other?

The panel discussion will be moderated by Miriam Olsson Jeffery, who has an in-depth tech understanding from Silicon Valley and Sweden
