What’s Working in Washington – Ep 457 – Investing in Female Entrepreneurs – Jenny Abramson

Jenny Abramson is the Founder & Managing Partner of Rethink Impact, the largest gender-focused venture capital fund that discovers, invests in, and nurtures female-owned companies.

Jenny shares how Rethink Impact is solving this problem, and chats with Mark about the current environment for raising capital, how to deploy capital, and how COVID has both helped and hurt the VC industry.
