A female founder's perspective
We will listen to a real startup company's story and learn the struggles female founders face and how they overcome them. This inspirational presentation will show you how important angel investing is to the overall startup ecosystem. With less than 2% of women getting Venture Capital investments, the opportunity to invest in these early-stage companies is wide open! The key to the success of a women startup is getting enough capital into their hands so that they can scale and grow to become VC-backable businesses. Be prepared to be inspired and excited about angel investing.
Our Founder Story:
Kathryn Dougherty, MBA, is the Founder & CEO of Spritz Beverages Co, a start-up that is currently piloting in market a line of softly sparkling, boldly flavored, craft tea infusions. Recognizing a gap in the market for healthy drink alternatives that appeal to modern women and female athletes, Kathryn began experimenting with different flavor combinations in her kitchen in 2016. She left her leadership role at Johnson & Johnson at the end of 2019 to pursue the concept full time. The first four formulations of Spritz Tea are now available throughout Ohio, including 189 Kroger stores that are currently executing their first large scale pilot.
