Salone Sehgal On Why Venture Needs More Women On Both Sides Of The Table With Rise And Play

Women remain underrepresented on both sides of the venture table, as founders raising capital and as investors deploying it, and that gap shapes which companies get built.

On the Rise and Play podcast, Sophie Vo, Studio and Game Lead at Voodoo, sits down with Salone Sehgal, Founder and Managing Partner of Lumikai, to talk about why diversity matters on both sides of the table.

Drawing on her own years as a founder, Salone talks about the challenges women face while building companies, what it took to break through, and why she chose to co-launch a fund. The two also cover investing, purposeful leadership and team building, along with the opportunity an underserved market like India offers to builders of interactive media, digital platforms and games.

Whether you're a woman raising your first round or an investor looking to widen your table, there's something here for you.

Press play and take your seat at the table.
