“They Asked Me to Take This Off My Deck” — On Building in Femtech

<p>Femtech is one of those terms everyone uses and no one quite agrees on. Is it a category? A movement? A funding thesis?</p><p>This episode is a collaboration with the FemTech Real Money Talks podcast. We brought together Elena Lipilina — host, and founder of a femtech startup herself — and Mayra Hurtado, leader of Femtech Mexico and founder in her own right. Together we get into the big questions: where the money in femtech actually flows, what's blocking it, why the category is so hard to define — and whether emerging markets are the next frontier.</p><p>Because if the term is still confusing, the opportunity isn't.</p><p>***</p><p>Listen to the FemTech Real Money Talks wherever you get your podcasts: <a href="https://kite.link/femtech-real-money-talks">https://kite.link/femtech-real-money-talks</a></p><p>***</p><p>Contact us: </p><p><br></p><p>Email: aurora@auroratechaward.com</p><p>***</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.auroratechaward.com/?utm_source=podcast_description&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=women_in_the_building_271125">https://www.auroratechaward.com/?utm_source=podcast_description&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=women_in_the_building_271125</a></p><p>***</p><p>Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/aurora-tech-award/">https://www.linkedin.com/company/aurora-tech-award/</a></p><p>***</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/auroratechaward">https://www.instagram.com/auroratechaward</a></p><p>***</p><p>This podcast is produced by Libo/Libo studio</p><p><br></p>

Building in Public: The Business Asset You're Not Using Yet

<p>Fifteen years ago, we had no idea who was behind the brands we used. Today, the game has changed — and your online presence can be one of your biggest business assets.</p><p>Building in public lets you attract future customers before your product even exists, test product-market fit without heavy investment, and connect with exactly the right people at the right time.</p><p>In this episode, we sit down with a founder and a communications expert who have both built their online brands with intention — to talk strategy, missteps, and everything in between.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br>***</p><p>Contact us: </p><p><br></p><p>Email: aurora@auroratechaward.com</p><p>***</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.auroratechaward.com/?utm_source=podcast_description&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=women_in_the_building_271125">https://www.auroratechaward.com/?utm_source=podcast_description&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=women_in_the_building_271125</a></p><p>***</p><p>Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/aurora-tech-award/">https://www.linkedin.com/company/aurora-tech-award/</a></p><p>***</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/auroratechaward">https://www.instagram.com/auroratechaward</a></p><p>***</p><p>This podcast is produced by Libo/Libo studio</p><p><br></p>

Raising Capital in LATAM and MENA: ‘‘You Need Money to Get Money’’

<p><br>When it comes to funding in emerging markets, different rules apply. This episode, we brought a founder from Egypt, a founder from Brazil, and a European investor to uncover just that. How do the options — and the odds — shift between Europe, LATAM, and MENA? What are the unwritten rules? And how do founders keep building when capital is scarce and ecosystems are still taking shape?</p><p><br></p><p>The silver lining?
