Ep. 291 First Women’s VC Fund with Founder Edith Dorsen and Attorney Jennifer Post

Invest In Her host Catherine Gray talks with Founder Edith Dorsen and Attorney Jennifer Post with Women’s VC Fund II.  At a time when there was little interest in women entrepreneurs, Edith Dorsen and her classmate from Harvard Business School recognized the capital gap existing for female founders and launched the Women’s Venture Capital Fund-- driven by the belief that leadership diversity is a major competitive advantage. It was the first VC fund in the country to focus on Series A stage companies in which senior leadership includes both women and men. Based on the success of its first fund, WomensVCFund ll closed in 2018.  Jennifer is a partner in the Corporate and Securities Practice Group of Thompson Coburn, LLP.  She is the Managing Partner of the Firm’s LA office and the first LGBTQ Office Managing Partner of the Firm.  She is a member of the Firm’s Management Committee and is the Vice Chair of the Firm’s Emerging Company practice area.  In her practice, Jennifer serves as primary outside counsel to a variety of individuals, institutions and companies, including entrepreneurs, venture capital firms and emerging companies.   Join us on Facebook LIVE every Wednesday at NOON PT @SheAngelInvestors.
