The Future Is Female: inDrive’s Aurora Tech Award — Driving Change for Women in Tech

Only 2.3% of venture funding currently goes to women-led startups and that figure has remained stagnant at 2% for years. And often, female entrepreneurs receive smaller amounts of funding—enough to survive but not to invest significantly in strategic initiatives that could propel the business forward. The Aurora Tech Award is an international prize founded by the global ride-hailing service, inDrive, and designed to support women founders in IT by helping them gain visibility and attract investment. On this episode of #TheFutureIsFemale Melisa Idris speaks with Shaerine Irwina Kaur, Communications Manager for Southeast Asia for inDrive.
