If you’ve ever thought, “I need to be more ready before I pitch,” this episode is your wake-up call.
In this live panel from the Venture Vitality Roundtable, you’ll hear from four powerhouse women who are reshaping startup capital—from DFX funding strategies to investor readiness, go-to-market scaling, and how to avoid founder burnout.
We’re talking real traction, real funding conversations, and the new rules of storytelling that convert.
This isn’t just another panel—this is a masterclass in becoming 100% compelling, even when you’re not “fully ready.”
Learn (What You’ll Take Away)
✅ The 5 ecosystem layers every founder must optimize to scale sustainably
✅ How the bar for investor readiness has shifted in today’s venture climate
✅ What investors actually want to hear in early-stage pitches
✅ Why female founders should stop over-explaining and start boldly asking
✅ How to pitch for capital without burning out or sacrificing clarity
As women in HealthTech and BioTech, we often hold ourselves back, thinking we need to be perfect before we’re persuasive. But readiness isn’t about checking every box—it’s about showing up with conviction, clarity, and confidence.
This conversation will remind you that you are your company’s most valuable asset—and that being compelling is a strategy, not a personality trait.
