The Restive Perspective

著者: Cameron Peake
  • サマリー

  • As a female founder/ CEO-turned-investor, I have a personal passion to invest in more women in the top seat of companies. More women leading companies means that there are more products and teams that have a fundamentally different perspective, which leads to better social, economic, and financial outcomes. So we're excited to share The Restive Perspective, where I tell the stories of female CEOs and the journeys they took to launch their companies. This isn’t your typical business profile series. My goal here is not only to turn the spotlight on some incredible leaders, but also to talk about the challenges, fear, and doubts they had before starting their companies- and importantly, the tactics they used to actually make the leap. After transitioning to the VC seat, I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many amazing female operators who are contemplating founding a company- but I see them frequently self-selecting into the #2 or #3 role because they don’t think that they have what it takes. This dynamic only exacerbates the problem that within fintech, less than 5% of CEOs are women. My motivation in telling the stories of other women who have made this transition previously is that everyone has these doubts, and that no one is fully “qualified” for this role - it is a constant state of learning. There are many reasons to not start a company - but a lack of conviction in your own potential should not be one of them.

    Meet Stephany Kirkpatrick, the founder and CEO of Orum. After joining LearnVest as an early employee and helping grow the company through their acquisition, she decided to strike out on her own.
