The audiobook edition of Raise: The Female Founder’s Guide To Securing Investment, read by Julia Elliott Brown.

*Shortlisted for the Business Book Awards 2023*

Are you a female founder?

Need investment to start or scale your business–and struggling to get it?

You’re not alone. When it comes to funding, female founders are seriously up against it: in the pale, stale and male world of venture capital, less than two percent goes to businesses led by women.

But it can be done.

This pioneering book helps you smash through funding obstacles and fly through your fundraise. Through a tried-and tested five-step process, it shows you how to:

  • Create a winning mindset and unlock your authentic power
  • Prepare your financial information and pitch•Build a network of high-calibre investors
  • Speak their language, meet them confidently and handle gender bias
  • Negotiate a deal that delivers genuine value for you and your business.

Raise is the very first book by a woman on securing investment, specifically for female founders.

Packed with real-world case studies of female entrepreneurs who have raised and taken their businesses to new heights, it gives you all the essential knowledge and support you need for yours.

I found Julia's book really helpful, accessible and applicable. She empowers her readers with the information required to understand and navigate the scary world of fundraising, backed up by mindset management, and a vision of where the business can go and what it can stand for that withstands self- and external criticism. Thank you so much.

A really motivating book. It punches through the jargon with clear explanations, facts, figures, case studies and practical advice. I like that the story is tightly told with no waffle and no wasted words. It’s like the best set of notes you could take from a year in the classroom.

Brilliant.
