The purpose of The B School is to address the crucial hurdles identified by both the female entrepreneurs featured on our podcast and the listeners of the BroadMic podcast: Education – Women now make up 37% of top MBA programs, but there is still a major education gap that needs to be addressed. Fundraising – Female founders get less than 5% of VC funding, which is correlated to the lack of visible female investors out there. Mentoring – A staggering 63% of women say they never had a formal mentor. The B School aims to address these key issues through a 6-week program that covers startup business fundamentals, fundraising preparation and mentor matching.
