In Episode 06 of the Earlybird Podcast, listen to two ecosystem guests who bring international experience: Sana Al-Badri (Co-Founder & CPO at SageWealth, formerly Sagefund), and Carolina Huaranca Mendoza (Co-General Partner at First Close Partners). These extraordinary women explain how we can truly overcome biases and barriers and why it is important not to mix up diversity and impact – as they are two different things. You'll hear about how change can be accomplished by everyone doing the work themselves, expanding their own networks, looking for blind spots, and taking action to fix those. Discover that the proven benefits of diversity can be found in the data: founders, investors, and VCs can and should use the data to promote diversity.

In Episode 05 of the Earlybird Podcast, meet three stellar guests: Valentin Stalf (Co-Founder & CEO @N26), Nina Wöss (Co-Founder @Female Founders), and Noor van Boven (Co-Founder @Invested). At this stage, successful startups and those that have reached unicorn status can now leverage their network and resources to bring about necessary change. As one of main ways to create impact from within, this episode dives deep into HR strategies and the hiring process. You will learn which aspects of diversity still need more work and what founders can do about it.
