Tentang podcast ini
Women-owned businesses capture just 0.8% of the total exit value in the US.
Carrie Kerpen is here to change that, through sharing the stories of women who have broken through and sold their businesses.
Having sold her own business for 8-figures in 2021, Carrie knows what it takes to build a sellable brand. She also knows that the experience can be different for women than it is for men because she has personally interviewed hundreds of exited female founders.
