What needs to change to help women-led businesses get more investment?

Self proclaimed 'startup finance geek', GlobalScot Evelyn Simpson is highly respected for her work supporting women-led businesses and advocating increased investment in them. Her past experience in finance took her to Asia. Since becoming a GlobalScot she now chairs charity Venture Scotland.

Evelyn speaks as the 2023 independent report on women in entrepreneurship, led by Ana Stewart and Mark Logan, is published. And as the latest progress report into the Rose review of women entrepreneurship is revealed. How much is the dial really shifting for supporting women in business and is the investment environment able to help their ventures thrive?

Our podcast theme Past, Present and Futureproofing, puts the spotlight on some of our industry leading GlobalScots across a range of sectors. It's a chance to reflect on personal experiences in business and a chance for today's businesses to understand how they can apply expert insights from across our network, to identify distinctive opportunities for their own businesses today.
