Launching a large-scale, multi-media platform focused on making entrepreneurship the next spectator sport, while simultaneously democratizing private markets is an audacious mission.

Our guest, Mona DeFrawi, is the ideal founder for this initiative. She’s a serial entrepreneur who has been a team member of 10 startups over three decades, the last four as Founder & CEO.

Mona pioneered the first Private Market platform, which initiated the "Unicorn" investing trend in Silicon Valley (acquired by SecondMarket and further acquired by the NASDAQ Private Markets).

Over her career, Mona has raised or participated in the placement of over $6 Billion+ of VC, PE and LP funding.

Mona has been recognized as one of Forbes' "Most Powerful Women in Technology," and as one of the "Top 100 Women in Fintech.”

Mona took her vision of democratizing the Private Markets and created Radivision, a platform that connects consumer audiences with the startup ecosystem, to make entrepreneurship the next spectator sport.

You will LOVE meeting this extraordinary visionary, she has THE BEST startup stories (for example: 4 IPOs + 3 children in 10 years!), and your jaw will drop when you see how Femtech Founder is building a multi-media platform and a fintech platform, simultaneously.
