Fundraising expert Julia Elliot Brown, The CEO of Enter the Arena, talks with May Al-Karooni, founder of award-winning B2B giving platform Globechain, about why she won't flaunt her £500,000 fundraise, the right time to go for a VC round and why its time female entrepreneurs recognise their authority in the boardroom.
Former financial industry expert May Al-Karooni bootstrapped for three years, winning contracts with world-leading brands and mentorship from retail giant eBay, before turning to fundraising to fuel the company's growth. VC funding with equitable venture Kindred has done just that.
Globechain now boasts over 10,000 members ensuring corporates distribute their unwanted items among SMEs and the charity sector.
In this episode you'll discover ...
