We're excited to announce the fourth episode release of our new podcast, Beyond Two Percent!
Beyond Two Percent analyzes the critical questions, issues, and dynamics that affect people differently by gender - and the intersection of those dynamics with finance. This week's roundtable focuses on venture capital, and we're lucky to be joined by Monica Murthy, FinTech Sales & Partnerships Lead at Alloy, and Jenny Johnston Venture Partner at Better Tomorrow Ventures.
As always, our guests join our two fabulous hosts, Julie VerHage-Greenberg and Helen Femi Williams. We'll publish Beyond Two Percent monthly - if you'd be interested in joining an upcoming episode, let us know! Reach out to sponsor@thisweekinfintech.com.
