A Conversation with Joanna Ilene Lichter | Founder Collective | Rough Draft Ventures | Pear VC | Via | Earshot | RBI | MBA ‘21 @ MIT Sloan

In this episode, we talk to Joanna about the various opportunities she pursued that led her to business school. Joanna has an impressive amount of experience under her belt, starting off in marketing at RBI where she negotiated with franchises in South America to make the region more data driven and afterwards joining the smaller company Earshot where she was director of marketing. 
She became interested in VC because of the ability to work with dozens of entrepreneurs across industries and made the leap with a pre-MBA internship at S2G ventures. She lastly tells us about her interest in the Femtech industry and elaborates on what should be done to promote diversity in VC and how to best approach recruiting.
