How to make your female founder led business more relatable to (mostly) male investors
Attracting the right investors can be tricky. One of the most common misconceptions for first-time female founders is that to secure funding, you simply need to create a pitch deck and start reaching out to every and any potential investor you can find. But it takes so much more to make your business both relatable and investable, especially as a woman trying to secure investment in the very male dominated world of venture capital.

Across the UK tech space, few large organisations wanted to or have been able to continue with face-to-face onboarding and training during, or “since”, the pandemic.

Video security is a political animal
Technology does not exist in a vacuum and as much as it may exist as a tool for users, innovations will face scrutiny from outside parties. We have heard calls from groups such as Human Rights Watch and Big Brother Watch to ensure technology does not infringe upon people’s rights or exacerbate pre-existing inequalities between groups. These viewpoints inevitably clash with companies needing to maintain the security of their properties, creating a complex balance between privacy and protection.
