The
beginnings of Impulse4Women
Taryn Andersen
Impulse4Women was born in July of 2017. The Idea was sparked while talking to women investors in Spain when they had told me that there were only 4 General Partners in the Venture Capital ecosystem that were female. There we started to become aware of the differences that women entrepreneurs experience when interacting with investors in comparison to the other male startups. In September the Impulse4Women brand was created. We started scouting startups to announce that we were going to help them by connecting them with investors in technology. We then started to create our large and international Advisory Board in which their time and knowledge in the technology sector had supported non profits since day one.
