Kathryn Minshew, CEO and founder of The Muse, discusses her own journey to raise funding for her company. The Muse is a job searching service used by over 50 million people. Minshew is also an operating partner of XFactor Ventures, a venture capital fund investing in the next generation of female founders.
Minshew says when she was starting out she didn't see any women in tech. She knew she had to do something when she attended an incubator for women in tech and there were only men on stage.
When Minshew started to raise funding for The Muse, she pitched to 150 investors and was rejected by 148. Despite all the rejection, Minshew explains you just have to keep going. She says even a "no" can be encouraging sometimes.
