Did you know that only 11% of investing partners at VC firms in the United States are women? I think we can all agree that there’s a problem with that! 

Women in venture capital all face a common struggle: proving themselves in a male-dominated industry. It takes resilience, determination, and personal accountability for women to get where they want to go, especially in executive roles. 

Enter Genevieve Lemarchal, a serial entrepreneur and the mastermind behind the venture capital fund Suncoast Ventures. She’s started multiple companies and has played a pivotal part in several businesses in different capacities, including consultant, investor, and executive.

In today’s episode, Genevieve and I discuss her inspiring journey of breaking through the investing world, which isn’t really designed for women to be a part of. 

From crushing self-limiting beliefs to overcoming financial struggles, you’re going to get a front-row seat on how she navigated her way through challenging phases in her life and emerged as a powerful force in the world of venture capital, just like a phoenix rising from the ashes!
