Companies increase their budgets on leadership training programs yet fail to receive results commensurate with their spending. Jennifer Dulski, an entrepreneur and an executive at tech companies, is changing that.
“Rising Team is the product I wished I had as a leader of teams throughout my career,” said Dulski. “While I was lucky to have access to coaching and training, I never felt like I had the tools to take what I learned and bring it to life with my teams.”
The pandemic exacerbated the need for team-building tools—employees felt disconnected. Yet, raising money was challenging even with a demonstrated need and a founder with street creds.
Dulski is among the few who have raised VC as a solo female founder. The percentage of dollars going to all female-founder teams dropped from 2.6% in 2019 to 2.1% to 2.3% during the pandemic, according to PitchBook. She raised $6 million.
