She is currently the Founding General Partner at True Wealth Ventures, a venture capital firm out of Austin, TX, and their main focus is funding women-led startups, which is rare, but what\u2019s rarer is the fact that the General Partners are in this case, both women. Even though their investor base is not comprised entirely by women, it is good to see that at least we can point to one venture capital fund that is led 100% by women. <\/p>\n<p>This is very enlightening conversation about the state of startups in the country, the funding that goes to women-run startups, and the number of women at the decision making levels across corporations and startups, and the differences between a companies with a  boardroom comprised of all men, versus a company with a boardroom comprised with a more balanced ratio of male-female.<\/p>\n<p>To get in touch with Sara Brand, Ph.D. :<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsmag-video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"xdy4s5QuGe\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/truewealthvc.com\/\">Home<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"http:\/\/truewealthvc.com\/embed\/#?secret=xdy4s5QuGe\" data-secret=\"xdy4s5QuGe\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Home&#8221; &#8212; True Wealth Ventures \" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/saratbrand\/<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d like to start mentioning The Business Magazine for Women\u2019s first annual #conference called  MORE WOMEN MORE MONEY coming up January 16, in Houston, TX.
