Well done

It is good to finally see someone touch upon the inequalities that exist in the innovation/venture capital industry. A very good panel of guests, and engaging conversations. The hosts Theodora and Arunkumar provide industry insights as well, which is great. I like that the episodes are about 30 minutes long. Well done, and keep them coming.
