B&P #21: Michele Romanow: How to get yourself a better VC Deal

Before the age of 28, Michele Romanow already started 3 companies. She's on TV regularly as one of the Dragon's on CBC's Dragon's Den, the Canadian equivalent to ABC's Shark Tank. And she was named as Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women. And in this episode Michele talks with Britta about why she co-founded Clearbanc that is completely revamping the VC game. The rising star in venture capital in Silicon Valley funds startups through equity-free investments with the promise of being specifically founder friendly. Clearbanc made big noise with 1 billion dollars in investments only last year into almost 2200 startups so far. In the episode Michele talks about why we need more female VCs to get more female founders and how she leads her company with her co-founder who is also her partner in the couples' private life.
