We know that innovation and excellence cannot be achieved without diversity and inclusion. At Lane Powell, we strive to foster diversity in our workplace and the communities we serve, which is why we’re excited to host three screenings of She Started It, a documentary film empowering the next generation of women founders.
Through intimate, action-driven storytelling, the film explores the cultural roots of female underrepresentation in entrepreneurship — including pervasive self-doubt, fear of failure and risk aversion among young women. It exposes, too, the structural realities women face as they become entrepreneurs, including lack of female role models and investors, and the persistent dearth of venture capital funding made available to women-led companies. We are hosting a screening at each of the Seattle-area WeWork locations this spring.
