Girls Just Want to Have Funds
Join Jaclyn Johnson and Marina Middleton for a live episode of WorkParty, the podcast, at the Cherub Pop Up space. This episode will be all about pulling the curtain pack on venture funding for women. The stats are abysmal, less than 2% of VC funding goes to women, why? Because it’s a boys club. We break down how to break through in this macro/ nightmare environment and why angel investors might be the way to go.

Customer Reviews
So good!
Feels like a hangout!!
So Many Gems
So many gems and nuggets from industry experts!
A MUST for female entrepreneurs!
I discovered this podcast after reading the book which I bought solely by judging the book by the cover. I literally cannot believe I let this book sit in the unread section of my shelf for A YEAR! My answers and inspiration were next to my bed this whole time. Of course the book left me wanting more!!! Enter WorkParty podcast! I never listen without my notebook handy. So many gold nuggets. I love the style of the interviews including rapid fire questions at the end and book recommendations which I rapid buy. There is a huge diversity of women entrepreneurs with different backgrounds. Jaclyn’s voice is very pleasant like gumdrops. Colorful, firm-ish but sprinkled with sweetness. Haha. Her excitement but organized interviews help keep the conversation on track. The passion from the guests describing how they build their dream - well it’s like contagious endorphins. Like indirectly they are telling me “girl you can get there, keep running!”
