Episode 5 - Karen Cahn: Founder of iFundWomen

“Do not quit your day job to become an entrepreneur.” On Episode #5 I sit down with Karen Cahn (@karencahn) the founder of iFund Women (@ifundwomen), a startup platform providing funding for early stage female entrepreneurs. Karen is a fearless leader who has pivoted her career from the early days at Google/YouTube and AOL to launching iFund Women to fulfill her mission to help entrepreneurs fund and launch their ideas. In this conversation, nothing is off limits! Karen is candid about the challenges of parenting, the reality of going out on your own and starting a company, and is brutally honest about her own journey and the pivots she made along the way. If you’re thinking about starting a company, interested in the good, the bad, and the ugly of entrepreneurship, or just intrigued to hear from a badass mom, this episode is for you!
