The Entrepreneur & VC Panel at the Annual Women's Conference brought together five remarkable women whose diversity of experience — spanning beauty, consulting, technology, wellness, and media production — sparked a rich and wide-ranging conversation. Kiku Chaudhuri (Co-founder, SHAZ & KIKS), Madhu Ahuja, CPA, ABV, CVA, CFE Ahuja (President & Founder, Ahuja & Consultants, Inc.), Dr. Maneesha Asundi (Sr. Principal IT Product Manager, Rocket), Piersten Gaines (Founder & CEO, Pressed Roots), and Sara Madsen Miller (Executive Producer & COO, 1820 Productions) reflected the many paths women are forging across industries, in a lively conversation moderated by Laura Ryan, CFP®.🌟 The insights were as diverse as the panel itself. Piersten Gaines reminded us that traction speaks louder than pitch decks — running pop-up activations for nearly two years before raising capital to prove real demand. Sara Madsen Miller emphasized financial runway and intentional networking as the true launchpad for entrepreneurship, while Kiku Chauduri showed how cultural authenticity and heritage can become a powerful competitive advantage in modern branding. 💡 Dr. Maneesha Asundi delivered a sobering and galvanizing reality check: "Women control approximately 85% of consumer spending, yet receive less than 2% of venture funding. That gap is not just a statistic — it's an opportunity and a call to action." Madhu Ahuja grounded the conversation with an important reminder that is often overlooked: "Behind every successful business is a foundation of strong financial infrastructure. Compliance, taxation, and accounting are not afterthoughts — they are the pillars that allow you to scale with confidence." Collectively, the panel delivered a powerful message: prove demand before raising capital, master your unit economics, build systems before scaling, and never underestimate the power of community and networking as a growth engine. Thank you to our panelists for the advice and encouragement to our attendees!
