Raising funds pt. 1
<p>Numerous global research tells us that female founders only get about 2% of VC money. While experts are trying to figure out why, well, every female founder can tell you why. Shame that nobody is really asking us.<br/><br/>While I don't want to be negative, I also don't want to sugarcoat something that I see as a plague for female entrepreneurs. In this episode, I will talk about<br/>- why female entrepreneurs don't get funded<br/>- my own experiences raising money<br/>- facing unsavory questions<br/>- how to stay positive when facing bias and prejudice<br/><br/>This is such an important and big topic and it will be covered in two-part, so watch this space for the next episode, coming in two weeks!</p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2226683/support">Support the show</a><p>You can learn more about how to support this podcast here <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/2226683/support'>https://www.buzzsprout.com/2226683/support</a><br/><br/>Are you enjoying the podcast?

Episode 8: Balancing entrepreneurship
<p>We hear so much about how entrepreneurship takes time, that you must be committed to your company 24/7. That hustle culture is the standard and a necessity to be even remotely successful.<br/><br/>I fell into the trap of #grindset myself. Even if I'm geographically far from Silicon Valley, toxic working culture and even more toxic advice traveled wide and far. Luckily, I learned my lessons and now, I'm sharing them with you. In this episode, you can hear more about</p><ul><li>how much time it really takes to run a startup</li><li>is there any truth in rise-and-grind culture?</li><li>how startup work is different from corporate life</li><li>my journey from overworking to putting myself first</li><li>tips on creating more balanced and healthier work</li></ul><p>If you are looking for a more sustainable and human-centric journey to success, this episode is a "must-listen" for you.<br/><br/>If you like our content, make sure you subscribe and be first to know when a new episode is out <a href='https://nikolina-finska.ck.page/6e065ef3c3'>https://nikolina-finska.ck.page/6e065ef3c3</a><br/><br/><b>The new episode coming in a week, 27th of December!</b></p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2226683/support">Support the show</a><p>You can learn more about how to support this podcast here <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/2226683/support'>https://www.buzzsprout.com/2226683/support</a><br/><br/>Are you enjoying the podcast?

Episode 7: Immigrant Entrepreneur Story
<p>You might wonder why am I talking about the immigrant entrepreneur. Wasn't this podcast supposed to be about female entrepreneurs?<br/><br/>I have been an immigrant most of my professional life. This lived experience heavily affected my career, my business, and my life choices. I can't talk about being an entrepreneur without talking about what it means to be an immigrant woman too.<br/><br/>As it happens, my experience is from Finland and the story is mine. But, who knows, it might have happened somewhere else too. Or it might happen completely differently for someone else.<br/><br/>In this episode, I talk about:</p><ul><li>how my immigrant identity affected my business</li><li>personal experience dealing with immigration-based bias</li><li>challenges of being a foreign entrepreneur in Finland</li><li>how does it compare to be an immigrant entrepreneur in Finland vs Croatia</li></ul><p>There are many immigrant stories out there, some more positive and sadly, some more negative than mine. I'm openly sharing my own, not to judge the country or get sympathy. We can't fix what we ignore and raising awareness of the issues immigrants sometimes face, is a step forward to fixing them, together.</p><p><b><em>It's the start of the holiday season, no better time than now to ask for your support!
