The Futureverse: Backing Women, with Debbie Wosskow and Sharmadean Reid

In this episode, Y TREE’s Harriet Johnston is joined by two trailblazing women, Sharmadean Reid and Debbie Wosskow, for a conversation about their journeys as entrepreneurs and working mothers. What more needs to be done to support female entrepreneurs – and women more broadly – to ensure combining work and motherhood isn’t financially punitive? What can the entrepreneurial community do to ensure more female founders receive financial backing? And, why is investing in women simply good business? Sharmadean and Debbie have tirelessly campaigned around these questions, and they’re issues we’re constantly focused on at Y TREE too, with 60 per cent of the UK’s wealth is set to be female by 2025. Success means recognising female founders as the business opportunity they are.  The Futureverse is brought to you by Intelligence Squared in partnership with Y TREE.
