Praise for Changing Tides

As an angel investor, I’ve focused on women-led companies because they have been historically underfunded yet have delivered abovemarket returns. Changing Tides provides insight and inspiration for both female founders and the smart investors who invest in them.
— Nancy Hayes, Angel Investor

As one who works with female founders around the world, it’s refreshing to see how well this book illustrates the extent to which both opportunities and challenges are shared globally. Changing Tides goes beyond storytelling, catalyzing collaborative, innovative solutions towards meaningful progress for female founders, for women, for society.
—Lucie Newcomb, Founder & CEO/CMO, The NewComm Global Group

Numbers don’t lie. As an investor, I seek better returns. Changing Tides makes a clear and data-driven business case for investing in female founders. All investors should read this book.
— Zeynep Urgun Zorlu, Global Investor, Zurgun Capital
