I recently had a chance to talk with Iris Fujiura, Chapter Lead of the Silicon Valley chapter of Golden Seeds, a national network of angel investment groups focused on woman-run startups. Prior to that, she was an engineer, and eventually an executive, working on rockets and launch systems.

She provided great insight into angel investor priorities, and what makes for a successful funding pitch. We also discussed the particular challenges facing female entrepreneurs.

Iris recommended the Female Founders Alliance https://femalefounders.org/ as a particularly useful resource.
