Erin Bagwell, first time director, and co-producer of Dream, Girl, didn’t start out in movies. Bagwell got the courage to quit her corporate job and pursue her dream of becoming a filmmaker from discovering a community of young women entrepreneurs who were pursuing their big dreams. Inspired by her peers, Bagwell “leveled up” and began to believe in herself. Bagwell’s film, Dream, Girl features a handful of diverse female founders, including women of color ranging in age from 25-83. During a live Q&A with our Season Three host, Erica Duignan Minnihan, Bagwell talks about her hope that people can see themselves in the women showcased in the film. Girl, be prepared to dream!

Our guest today has a “golden” resume, notably for the ease with which she crossed the Internet 2.0 digital divide, while at the helm of some of the largest brands in media, commerce and consumer products - Disney, ABC, Gilt and AOL. Susan Lyne is now founder and president of Built by Girls Ventures, aka BBG Ventures, a corporate VC fund investing in early stage, female-led businesses with consumer, tech-enabled products. In this fireside chat, Susan talks about “why the time is now” to invest in female founders, a conviction born out of decades of observing women’s powerful role as consumers, yet she points to a disturbing disconnect: the still “shockingly low” amount of VC $$s being invested in female-led companies. You’ll hear what she has to say about... how to look for mentors, whether it makes sense to go for VC $$s or not, and why you may be shooting yourself in the foot if you are a solo founder.

“We can’t move forward with only 50% of the population.” In the past 3 years, only 4% of female founders have received venture capital funding. It is 2016, well past the time to change this. Women are a powerful entrepreneurial force—not just a large consumer market to be tapped or “binders full of women” to be hired. Listen to host Kelly Hoey highlight the diverse role models who are breaking the conventional stereotype of an entrepreneur, and spotlight the women and minorities who are acting, leading and changing the world. Through hosted conversations on BroadMic, Kelly will demonstrate why having conversations about success is as important as having role models. We believe in strengthening the BroadMic community through shared expertise. Together, we can change the narrative.
