Human decision-making – even when a lot of money is at stake, is not always rational. A lot of the time it's based on intangible factors that influence people in ways that can't be explained or justified by data or analysis – this is after all, the entire basis for the field of behavioural economics, and it's not new information. So why, in an industry like venture capital, are people still led oftentimes more by their gut than their head? The answer, of course, is human nature. But in an industry that looks for outliers, that tries to go against the grain, why is it not more of a priority to minimise the amount of returns left on the table by counteracting well-known flaws in our thinking? My guest today is Sharon Vosmek, CEO and managing partner of VC firm Astia, which has, at the core of its thesis, diversity. Not just diversity for its own sake, though Vosmek argues that that would be good enough – but rather as a tangible, strategic way to cast the net as widely as possible, and to eliminate the biases that ultimately end up hurting your return profile. Astia recently released a white paper on what it calls the Sift – its method of sourcing and screening companies for investment, in a way that tries to filter out the pitfalls that people fall into because of their biases or hunches. Things like not starting the process with introductions, but rather an in-depth assessment of the business before face-to-face meetings, or drawing on the experience of a large diverse group of external advisors to assess each company – thereby also spreading the biases across a wider set of experiences. At a time when diversity and inclusion initiatives are coming under attack, Vosmek defends this not as some gimmick, but as a way to demonstrably bring in more money – indeed, Astia's data has shown a far lower failure rate for startups that have made it through the Sift, than the average, and a higher rate not just of survival, but of successful exits, than failures. We also talk about the biases that still exist and how they may manifest themselves, the potential impact that the perception of being an “inclusive” fund may have on fundraising, and the wider impact of a current climate that is hostile to inclusion initiatives. But first, I speak to GCV's Kim Moore about how investors can take advantage of innovation in universities. The post Getting rid of bias in the investment process appeared first on CVC Unplugged.

This 4-in-1 compilation episode focuses on a persistent disconnect between capital and capability: women are founding businesses at record rates and leading high-performing funds, yet the capital rarely follows.In other words, women are underrepresented both in receiving and managing capital.Today's episode is about those pushing back against that trend – women-led investment managers and those intentionally channeling capital into women-led businesses.Here are the featured guests:Sharon Vosmek, CEO of Astia & Managing Partner of the Astia FundSharon Vosmek doesn't see gender equity in venture as a social goal – she sees it as a market inefficiency. With just 2–3% of VC funding going to women CEOs, she argues the system consistently overlooks high-potential founders. At Astia, she's investing in women-led startups with strong early traction, particularly in underserved sectors like women's health. She also challenges the informal, male-dominated networks – boardrooms, golf courses – where most deals are still made.Full episode Dr. Tara Bishop, Founder and Managing Director of Black Opal VenturesTara co-founded Black Opal Ventures to invest where healthcare and technology collide – and where traditional VC often misses.She and her partner, Eileen Tanghal, raised $63 million from institutional investors like Eli Lilly and JP Morgan, becoming one of the rare female- and minority-led funds in venture. Their portfolio reflects that identity: women-led companies, underserved markets, and problems overlooked by legacy capital.Full episode Tammy Newmark, CEO and Managing Partner of EcoEnterprises FundTammy leads EcoEnterprises Fund, a women-run investment firm focused on nature-positive businesses across Latin America. For over two decades, she's backed companies in sustainable agriculture, ecotourism, and agroforestry – many led by women and rooted in rural or Indigenous communities.Gender equity isn't the fund's focus, but it runs through the portfolio: in leadership teams, supply chains, and daily operations. About half of their investments meet 2X Challenge criteria – not because it's the mandate, but because that's who's doing the work.With $150 million under management, the fund combines financial discipline with long-term environmental and social goals.Full episode Stephanie Cohn Rupp, CEO of Veris Wealth PartnersStephanie runs Veris Wealth Partners, one of the few wealth management firms built from the ground up to do just one thing: impact. With $2.3 billion under management and offices across the U.S., Veris has been majority women-led and women-owned since its founding in 2007.It's built entirely around impact – certified B Corp, net zero, and intentionally conflict-free – and applies that lens across every asset class, with a deep focus on racial equity, climate, gender, and community wealth.For Stephanie, this isn't about doing impact. It's about being built for it.Full episode—The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email update.Visit the SRI360° PODCAST.Visit the SRI360° WEBSITE.Follow SRI360° on X.Follow SRI360° on FACEBOOK.
Sharon Vosmek, chief executive and managing partner of Astia, discusses why backing female founders isn't just morally right, but also financial prudent, why not all definitions of women-led startups are equal and the danger of 'fomo' in investing.Astia is an inclusive venture capital group that seeks to address the vast and stagnant gap in funding for women-led businesses.

V sérii podcastov z NBA sme sa pozreli dnes viac na negatívne témy. Hráči, na ktorých stále nevyšli peniaze na zmluvu v žiadnom z tímov, mančafty, ktoré budú horšie ako sme boli zvyknutí a takisto vyjadrenia o nerešpektovaní míľnikov Damiana Lillarda. Spomenuli sme mená ako Markelle Fultz, Isaac Okoro, Lonnie Walker a zamysleli sme sa nad možnou horšou sezónou LA Lakers, Sacramenta Kings alebo Clevelandu Cavaliers. Kto si naozaj vytiahne ,,čierneho Petra" a komu v Druhej Lajne krivdíme?

How can you answer your ancestral calling and apply that to business? For this Women of Color Rise episode, Analiza talks with Chandra Roxanne, Former Managing Director of the Astia Edge Fund, a $20M fund which invests in Black and Latina women. Chandra made a pivot into venture capital after participating in Linda Lautenberg and Judy Schoenberg's EvolveMe program and realizing her ancestral calling. Chandra believes in the transformative power of venture capital when used consciously and empowers Black and Latina women by investing in their ideas. Chandra is a graduate of the London School of Economics. Chandra shares how to answer our ancestral calling: Know your unique positionality. Know that your perspective, experience, and ancestry matter. Similar to a color in a rainbow, we each have a unique background that is important to the entire rainbow. Without it, the rainbow would not be the same. Learn and find pride in your ancestors. As part of emotional reparations work for people of color, it's about restoration of culture. When your people are forced to give up language and culture, you may think that America is the start and finish of your history. But it is not. We need to reach back and understand who we and our people were before. Connect your people's history and legacy to your higher purpose. When you look back and connect to your culture, find that part of your story that is your people's legacy. This is also where you can find your ancestral calling and higher purpose. This higher purpose can be applied to businesses, where we can serve something bigger, not just for financial gain. Are you or do you know of any Black and Latina women entrepreneurs at the seed stage? Please send them to Astia to get support.

Better Fuji Photos Episode 19: How Accurate are Fujifilm Film Simulations? Some time ago, I went down some rabbit hole on the Internet and came across an argument about the "accuracy" of Fujifilm film simulations compared to the analog equivalents. How close are PROVIA, ASTIA, VELVIA, etc to the real deal? But does it really matter? Film is all about which subject you're photographing, which light you're in, and how you want the photograph to look. Film simulations are a digital equivalent of the same concept - they're not meant to be a 100% replica of the chemical-based film. But with that said, they're still pretty darn close! Objective comparisons are nearly impossible anyways, based on variations in both darkroom and RAW processing techniques. Just get out there and photograph!

Sharon Vosmek (@Vosmek) is the CEO of Astia & Managing Partner of the Astia Fund ($100 million) and a founding member of Astia Angels. Astia is the pre-eminent organization working to ensure the success of high-growth start-ups founded and led by women. Sharon is well-known around the globe for her opinions, research, and commentary on the importance of women leadership being integral to innovation and high-performing entrepreneurial companies.Her work began in the political sector, where she worked for US Senator Dennis DeConcini. She became very interested in global economics and women's economic participation, in particular, the policies and roadmaps that were available to ensure that women successfully participated in the economy. A chance meeting with the founder of Astia, Catherine Muther, at a dinner party paved the way for things to come and Sharon was appointed CEO of Astia in 2007. Under her leadership, Astia has grown from 20 individuals in Silicon Valley to a global community of more than 5,000 investors, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders that make up its investment ecosystem today.In this episode, Sharon goes in depth to describe the extent of the under-investment in women-led companies venture capital firms and cites a number of studies and some very interesting statistics on how much money seems to be left on the table by doing so. We discuss at length what she considers to be the shortcomings of the typical VC investment approach as well as race and gender bias in the VC investment community.Show notes: https://sri360.com/podcast/sharon-vosmekAbout the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

7 návratov je o znovuobjavení svojho potenciálu. Je to o tom, začať kráčať po svojej vlastnej autentickej ceste. 7 návratov je o tom, nekopírovať život niekoho iného.

Meet Jodi Akin: Jodi Akin is the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Hawthorne Effect, a software service that streamlines and decentralizes clinical trials. She is an Angle Investor and Advisor for Astia, Board member for 510 Kardiac Devices, Inc., and the Chief Scientific Advisor for PiCardia, Inc. Previously, she was the Vice President of Global Clinical Affairs at Edwards Lifesciences LLC. Jodi received a Bachelor's in Diplomacy, Economics and International Affairs from Georgetown University, and a Master of Science in Nursing from Pace University. Key Insights: The Hawthorne Effect is changing the ecosystem of clinical trials. Defining Entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is an attitude, not a stage of a company, according to Jodi. She didn't set out to simply found a company, rather she felt a gravitational pull, a compulsion, to fix an aspect of healthcare. (10:39) Improved Patient Adherence. Hawthorne Effect brings clinical trials to the patient's own home, rather than requiring the patient to go to a physical research institution. This removes transportation challenges for the patient, which increases adherence. Jodi cites that 97-98% of their patients adhere to clinical trials. (15:48) Hawthorne Heroes. Decentralized clinical trials are made possible by a gig network of medical professionals. This allows for geographically diverse trials, and these Heroes have additional opportunities for certification and training for different types of trials, with roles that range from patient visits to trial investigators. (18:03)This episode is hosted by Gary Bisbee, Ph.D. He is the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Think Medium.

Join Lori and her guest, Maya Tussing, as they talk about how to save and invest for nonprofits.

What are the things to consider if you want to bring in revenue to keep and grow your organization continuously? Stay tuned!

People in the for-profit sector often don't know what it's like to be a philanthropic leader. The importance of social impact groups. And much more! About Maya Tussing: I had every intention of attending medical school after Pomona College, but when I took a job working on a trading desk for Transamerica, I knew I'd never become a doctor. Instead, I went on to business school at the University of Washington to embark on a career in financial services. In 25 years, I honed my experience in enterprise risk and investment management at corporations such as BlackRock, Barclays Global Investors, Visa, and GE.

Dnešné Ráno na eFeMku navštívil poľský reportér a spisovateľ Wojciech Jagielski. Na východ od západu, jeho najnovší titul v slovenčine, je o tých, ktorí ďaleko od domova hľadajú zasľúbenú zem. Dotýka sa aktuálnej témy, kedy ľudia sklamaní západným svetom hľadajú šťastie odchodom na vidiek alebo do divočiny, a naopak, chudobný východ a juh smeruje na sever a západ sveta. Vydáva sa tak po stopách „veľkej hipisáckej cesty“ od Afganistanu, Pakistanu, Nepálu až po Indiu. Vypočujte si celý rozhovor o postrehoch z Wojciechovych ciest naprieč Áziou, ale aj o tom, kde hľadá a nachádza šťastie on sám.
„Ajhľa, stojím pri dverách a klopem. Ak niekto počuje môj hlas a otvorí dvere, vojdem k nemu a budem stolovať s ním a on so mnou.“ Zjav 3:20 C. S. Lewis napísal: „Ak je vo mne túžba, ktorú žiadna skúsenosť v tomto svete nedokáže uspokojiť, najpravdepodobnejším vysvetlením je, že som bol stvorený pre iný svet.“ […] The post Zdroj šťastia – 13. september appeared first on evs.sk.

V afrických slumoch pôsobila ako lekárka na misii, súčasťou však bola aj pomoc pri vzdelávaní miestnych detí, adopcii detí na diaľku a príprave projektov, ktoré mali napomôcť miestnym obyvateľom k väčšej samostatnosti. Aké boli prvé dni v Afrike? Aké kultúrne rozdiely ju šokovali? Je Afrika nebezpečná? Ako ju miestni prijali? - to všetko sa dozviete v najnovšej epizóde podcastu Ženy ako my magazínu Diva.sk
Just the three of us this week as we recover from the trip to Dave Shrimpton's house. This was meant to be more of an email show but there was really only one we could read out and that was just a brilliant one from Pakistan based visual artist Jahanzeb Haroon. Things we chatted about on the show: Andrew kicked off the discussion with “what we've all been up to”. Shamefully but rationally explained, no LF work from him for ages. The darkroom extension has been an all consuming project and with the first paying workshop customer coming in August the pressure has been on to at least get it functional, and it is now. Returning from a holiday in Northumberland Andrew has a number of rolls of fil m to develop including 4 or 5 127 films, some HP5 and a roll of expired Astia that he exposed in his Toyo 45a with the 6x17 back. The question goes begging “do we or should we take large format gear on a family holiday”? Another reason for not exposing too much LF film recently is the need to nail down rotary processing in his Jobo CPE2 or the new variable speed rotating base recently received from Student Photo Store on ebay. Settling down to PyrocatHD and ID111+1 will reduce the creative choices, and darkroom is needed to play around. Earlier in the year Mat Marrash posted a video all about determining your own personal film speed and “normal” developing time using a Stouffer TP45 step wedge, after years of doing this by trial and error Andrew has taken the plunge and ordered a step wedge. Mat's video and a link to the Stouffer site below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN-LM1lM8Kg&t=1005s https://stouffer.net/Photo.htm#:~:text=Stouffer%20Craftsmanship%20Transmission%20Projection%20%28TP%29%20Step%20Wedges%20are,concept%20used%20when%20approaching%20the%20art%20of%20photography. Both Erik and Simon have been up to way more exciting things, actually exposing and playing around with LF film and paper. Erik has been deep diving into lens building with Bronica ETRS lenses and more (see Erik's IG site below). Erik posted into the LFPP Facebook group ongoing work with Faux Orotones with some lovely results. The Orotone process was made famous by Edward Curtis and more info can be found on line (OK Wikipedia to the rescue) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orotone Erik is looking for a similar effect using gold spray paint and it works really well. Simon has been busy using his Chroma camera both in and out of the studio with some expired velvia and, in the 6 towns studio, some Harman Direct Positive paper. We have a chat about the challenges of using HDP and its limited tonal range (high contrast). The Ilford PDF data sheet and a recent Ilford video presented by Rachel Brewster-Wright are very helpful if you are thinking of using this great paper for the first time. https://www.ilfordphoto.com/harman-direct-positive-paper-sheets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFUSiRwfOHs On the subject of film speed testing friend of the show Billy Sanford recently appeared on the Sunny 16 presents show and talked about his experience with a Richard Pickup approach to film speed testing – he actually cited our LFPP interview with Richard as inspiration. https://sunny16presents.podbean.com/e/on-location-the-goldilocks-negative-with-billy-sanford/ LFPP listener and FB member Jahenzeb Haroon sent in a lovely email talking all about analogue photography in Pakistan, it's a great email and do check out Jahenzeb's work which he produces very much against the odds. We take off our collective hats and not in his direction. https://www.instagram.com/junk.lab/ And this link all about one of Pakistan's oldest photography practices that is still going. https://www.globalvillagespace.com/zaidis-photographers-pakistans-majestic-kaliedoscope/?fbclid=IwAR3nBFNa8cvo6sJvdxDykAR0MziXteY0Ep05OiOItZHQ5adntspdyGXhkWM LFPP links - https://largeformatphotographypodcast.podbean.com/ ko-fi.com/largeformatphotographypodcast You can join in the fun at our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/2296599290564807/ And now our Flikr group curated by Colin Devroe https://www.flickr.com/groups/lfpp/ Get Twitter updates for the show from Andrew – https://twitter.com/warboyssnapper Or from Simon – https://twitter.com/simonfor Email feedback, ideas and questions for the podcast largeformatphotographypodcast@gmail.com Podcast Hosts Social Media presence Simon Forster www.classiclensespodcast.com www.simonforsterphotographic.co.uk https://stores.ebay.co.uk/itsfozzyphotography https://www.flickr.com/photos/125323761@N07/ https://www.facebook.com/SimonForsterPhotographic/ https://www.instagram.com/simonforsterphotographic/ https://twitter.com/SimonFor Andrew Bartram https://anchor.fm/thelenslesspodcast https://andrewbartram.wordpress.com https://www.instagram.com/warboyssnapper https://www.instagram.com/warboyssnapper_pinholes https://www.flickr.com/photos/warboyssnapper/ https://twitter.com/warboyssnapper Erik Mathy A not updated website. https://www.erikmathy.com/about IG probably best for all things including rabbits. https://www.instagram.com/erikhmathy/?hl=en Stay Safe

Ida Beerhalter is the co-head of IOME, a private investment partnership of women principals from the Gulf with its head office in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Beerhalter currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Astia, USA. It is important for a member of an educational family office to first understand who they are. This involves recognizing both strengths and weaknesses in order to then set up an effective structure and team. More women in family businesses are getting involved and taking control of their financial destiny which offers a new form of empowerment. It is important for women to learn about themselves in the workplace and ultimately use their skills to thrive. This often involves helping women find their voice, literally. “We had training for [women's] voices, for them to speak up. As an example, we did it by screaming through a park.. I have them read something, different sentences, and I need to hear it even 50 meters away.” ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit *salt.org/talks* ( http://salt.org/talks ) Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.
