“At the root of all these issues, in my view… it's really just a lack of capital.”-Nathalie Molina NiñoWomen start the majority of small businesses in the United States. But they don't have the easiest time receiving funding from investors.Nathalie Molina Niño is a building capital investor and former tech entrepreneur who wants to bridge that gap!“There truly are a lot of other ways that you can go when it comes to financing your company. VC is one, and it's a viable one, but it's a niche and it's inappropriate for most companies,” Nathalie says. “It's a difficult way to finance a company because you're ultimately giving away control of your company, and you're giving away control to a group of people who have short-term goals.”In this conversation, we discuss the gender bias in venture capital, the alternative funding sources available, and the Road to Seven Capital Access Program, which helps microbusinesses access the funds they need to grow!In this episode of the Road to Seven podcast, you'll discover:Why you should consider looking beyond VC when seeking investorsHow to be prepared when you're ready to seek fundingHow you can benefit from outside-the-box thinking like merging with your competitionAbout Nathalie Molina Niño: Nathalie Molina Niño is the Managing Director at Known Holdings, an investor, author, educator, and retired global tech entrepreneur.

Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Nathalie Molina Nino. Nathalie is an impact investor targeting high-growth businesses that economically benefit women and the planet. A confessed but recovering serial entrepreneur, Nathalie launched her first tech startup at the age of twenty and like most of us got hooked. She's the co-founder of Entrepreneurs@Athena at the Athena Center for Leadership Studies of Barnard College at Columbia University, where the idea for LEAPFROG was first born. Before that, she spent over a decade sharing her no-BS, opinionated flavor of business advice and growth strategy with folks like Disney, Microsoft, MTV, Mattel, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Everyone needs to hear this episode and if you know a vc then share this with them. Just prior to launching her last venture, BRAVA Investments, Molina Niño led the launch of Nely Galán’s New York Times bestselling book and online education venture, Self-Made, and stepped in as CRO of PowerToFly, the fastest growing hiring platform for women in tech and beyond.

Episode 058: The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs with Nathalie Molina Niño About Nathalie: What I love about Nathalie is that she isn’t satisfied with the status quo, and frankly never has been. She launched her first tech startup at the age of 20, which kickstarted her path of being a game-changing force for women entrepreneurs. By her mid-thirties she had already built four companies, and then surprised everyone by walking away from tech to pursue a theater degree from Columbia. Her entrepreneurial pulse couldn’t be quieted and Nathalie realized that she had an opportunity to make a lasting impact for women change-makers. She’s also the founder of BRAVA Investments, which targets funds that directly benefit women, and last fall she published her first book, Leapfrog: The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs, which is a collection of fifty “hacks” for start-up founders who don’t have access to old-boys networks or Silicon Valley connections.

On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nathaliemolinanino/ (@nathaliemolinanino), https://www.instagram.com/BRAVAinvests/ (@bravainvestments) Show Notes: [2:30] minute: Where did you grow up and what was the mindset around money and success that was instilled in you? Growing up in LA with immigrant parents. Money and politics were part of everyday conversations so was not taboo. Exposure to how money worked in a business and the stress it can bring. [4:45] minute: Your parents were entrepreneurs, so was that always your plan or how did that come about when you started your first business in college? Watching her parents and some of their struggles made her think there had to be a better way, so she pursued the sciences. Saw the bureaucratic side of sciences and wanted to get the freedom of entrepreneurship. [7:00] minute: Tell me the story of starting your first business while you were in school, how did that come about? A motorcycle accident left her in need of a car to get around campus. That became an opportunity to create websites for car dealerships and others. Her and her friends taught each other to code and it led to a sort of “accidental” business. [9:00] minute: After that I know you built three other businesses before you left the tech field, so can you tell us about those and what some of your biggest challenges you faced were? Always felt that subject matter expertise was learnable. Struggled more with the human dynamic; the management of people. Best in smaller groups of people where everyone is known. [12:30] minute: What was it like being a woman in the tech industry, what was that experience like being young in the tech world? Things have changed since she got in to tech in the mid to late 90’s. It wasn’t quite as defined as a “boy’s club” then as it has gotten. The differences women in tech see from their male counterparts is what fuels her. Today’s women are braver than she ever was. [15:45] minute: Do you see any sort of tide turning in the tech world of men being more cognizant of these problems? Some change seen in the youngest generations, but the deepest studies show maybe those differences are not as big as we’d like to think they are. [18:35] minute: You mentioned climate change playing a big role in this, what do you mean by that? Women are going to bear the brunt of the side effects of climate change. This drives her urgency for the equity of women. [20:00] minute: You walked away from tech to go to Columbia and study theater, what prompted that decision? The canned answer is she was burnt out, and wanted to take her best skill of storytelling and put it to use in a world very different from tech. Physical ailments created by the stress her work caused actual burnout and her doctor told her to think about making a real...

She launched her first startup at 20, and made lots of mistakes. Today, she runs Brava Investments, which only funds companies that have the potential to put money in the pockets of millions of women. Raised by an immigrant family with deep entrepreneurial roots, where money was always dinner conversation, Nathalie satisfied her “need for freedom” by launching companies that took on the abysmal state of venture capital investments in women of color, whom she calls “the single most entrepreneurial community in this country.” Oh, and she wrote a book about all of it: Leapfrog: The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs. Her motto: “We cannot wait for people to give us what we’re entitled to. We have to build it ourselves.”Love the show? Show your love and become a Latina to Latina insider here!

Hey, Boss! Forget ‘follow your bliss'. Here's some better business advice, especially for women: FIND THINGS YOU WANT TO PUNCH. My guest today is Nathalie Molina Niño, CEO of Brava Investments, and she's a female entrepreneur on fire. She recently wrote an incredible book that I devoured in a single day called “LeapFrog - The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs”, and I'll tell you right now, this woman does not use “revolution” in the boring, washed up way we've come to hear it in the marketing world. She's talking about real-deal revolution. And it's about time. We talk about: The new rules of the clubhouse in modern business, and how you can use them to launch your next big thing. How entrepreneurs tend to become obsessed with their competition, and how that takes your eye off the ball, and actually puts you at a disadvantage. Why the idea of “passive income” can feel like magical thinking, and what an alternative is that can help you launch your business forward with more power and purpose. Conversations like these fuel me to do what I do in this world, and I think this interview will fuel you too, Boss. Not only do Nathalie Molina Niño and I dig into some SUPER important, actionable steps for women entrepreneurs seeking to make a meaningful impact, but we also talk about what needs to change in the world to make space for marginalized people who NEED to be heard. If you're just starting out in business, and especially if you are a woman or POC, this interview is going to light you up, and set you on fire. You're gonna love this interview, Boss!

You also often see only a couple of paths.” - Elise Schuster, Episode 139 “There’s not one way of helping people. You have got to figure out what is going to work right for you.” - Elise Schuster, Episode 139 “Everybody deserves to lead happy and healthy lives. And that includes sexuality. It’s just as much a part of our lives.” - Elise Schuster, Episode 139 “I think that we get so many messages in the world about what it means to be a woman and how you’re supposed to behave and act. So I think most of it, for me, is really just to realize you have everything that you need within yourself to do this.” - Elise Schuster, Episode 139 “Even in those moments that it feels like you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s okay to not know what you’re doing, you don’t have to have every single thing figured out, but you probably have it a lot more figured out than you realize. So keep pushing.” - Elise Schuster, Episode 139 “Self forgiveness is the biggest thing. That’s the only way you can really move forward.” - Kevin Y. Brown, Episode 139 “It’s okay to take shortcuts. Because everyone takes shortcuts.” - Elise Schuster, Episode 139 “The things that I thought made us unappealing are the things that made us appealing, Sometimes the things that you think are your weaknesses are actually your strengths” - Elise Schuster, Episode 139 Resources Mentioned: Leapfrog: The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs by Nathalie Molina Niño React Native Favorite Book: When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chodron Favorite Quote: Motto by Brene Brown that everyone is doing the best that they can with what they have. 3 keys to Create Your Best Life: Self-compassion Determination Love Stay Connected: Create Your Life Series: https://www.facebook.com/cylseries/ https://www.instagram.com/cylseries/ Kevin: www.kevinybrown.com www.instagram.com/kevinybrown www.twitter.com/kevinybrown www.facebook.com/kevbrown001 Elise Schuster: www.okayso.co/ www.eliseschuster.com/ www.instagram.com/heyokayso twitter.com/akadallas twitter.com/heyokayso www.facebook.com/akadallas www.facebook.com/heyokayso www.linkedin.com/in/eliseschuster www.linkedin.com/company/okayso elise@okayso.co Subscribe to our podcast + download each episode on itunes, google play, stitcher and www.createyourlifeseries.com/podcast
