We are two female founders and we created this podcast to give you a peek behind the curtain of what it’s really like to raise capital as a female founder. Join us on our journey as we raise our Seed round of funding IRT and share the entire process - both the wins and the fails - along the way. Being founder is hard, and we want you to know that we are all in this together.

Julia Rose and Monika Bhasin

    Welcome back to the last episode for our first season of Walking on Coals.  We are so humbled by the amazing response our podcast has garnered.  We are happy....and a bit unhappy. Happy to provide an outlet, a way to share our experiences with you and connect with you.  Unhappy that so many of you face the same realities.  In light of this, for our next season we have decided to share your stories...in real time.  

    You have to be F*@kable

    Welcome back to Walking on Coals as we near our last episode.  In one of our most vulnerable episodes, we talk about how challenging it is to be a woman raising money because you never know when a d!ck is grazing your thigh while on a supposedly professional outing.  We are wearing our heart on our sleeves in this episode in hopes that we may prevent someone else from experiencing the same.

    Money, Money, Moneeyyy!

    Welcome back to Walking on Coals!  We dream up, we dive in, we break down walls, we stare down our fear in the face, we go out there and kill it and yet at times, we feel this has not gone as I planned.  In our 5th installment of this season we talk about guilt for me-time, finding investors and realizing that not much has gone as we imagined!  Thank you for staying on this journey with us, we promise to always stay true to our mission.

    Welcome to our 3rd episode of Walking on Coals!  In this episode, you'll hear us talk about the emotional roller coaster we go on while on our start-up journey.  Navigating life is hard and when we start up a company, it becomes that much more complicated, challenging and at times fun...like when one of us goes to the White House!  (Recorded Fall of 2019)

    Thank you for coming back to Walking on Coals!  In this episode, we talk about the early days. Feeling like no one around us is being honest. Coming down with a bad case of imposter syndrome. Oh and Vagina, Vagina, Vagina!!! Yeah - we talk about that too...(Recorded Fall of 2019)
