While venture capital is their most likely next source of funding regardless of the gender makeup of the founding team\, the startups with a female founder are slightly less likely to rely on them for funding. Companies founded solely by women garnered 2.1% of the total capital invested in venture-backed startups in the US [2]. \nFor the third Women Innovators Initiative (WI2) webinar\, we speak with two women founders and CEOs from Cornell University to find out about their experience as female founders/CEOs and to hear about the lessons learned during the formation and the growth of their venture. \nPanelists: \n\nRachel Dorin\, Ph.D.’13 Materials Science and Engineering\, President and CEO\, and Co-Founder\, Terapore – Dorin’s LinkedIn profile\nSiyu Huang\, Ph.D.’12 Chemistry MBA’14\, Co-Founder and CEO\, Lionano – Huang’s LinkedIn profile\n\nModerator: \n\nAlice Li\, Ph.D.\, Executive Director\, Center for Technology Licensing\, Cornell University\n\nRegister Now \nWomen Innovators Initiative (WI2): Running a Startup: Perspective of Two Women Founders and CEOs from Cornell \nApril 2 | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm (EST) \nFor more information on the Women Innovators Initiative visit Cornell Technology Licensing \n[1] 2020 Women in US Technology Leadership.

Cornell Professor Dr. Drew Harvell has a wealth of experience in advocacy and policy work in addition to her science. \nDr. Drew Harvell is Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University and Curator of the Blaschka Marine Invertebrate Collection. Her research on the health and sustainability of marine ecosystems has taken her from the reefs of Mexico\, Indonesia\, and Hawaii to the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest and resulted in over 170 academic articles in journals such as Science\, Nature\, and Ecology. Her award-winning book\, Ocean Outbreak\, details infectious epidemics in the ocean and solutions that benefit people and biodiversity.  Dr. Harvell’s current research is focused on health of the Salish Sea and policy routes forward. Her first policy involvement was with helping to draft The Marine Disease Emergency Act (HR 936\, 2015). Current work focuses on science discovery to reveal new disease-fighting services of seagrasses and interfacing with state agencies in Puget Sound to increase preservation of seagrass. She is a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America and the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future\, and awarded the 2020 Cornell SUNY Chancellors Award\, 2019 Seattle Aquarium Conservation Research Award\, PROSE AWARD (Ocean Outbreak)\, National Outdoor Book Award (A Sea of Glass)\, Rachel Carson Environment Book Award\, Honorable Mention (A Sea of Glass).
