How to close the gender funding gap with a serial female entrepreneur

On this episode of the Money Matters podcast we hear from Debbie Wosskow, the serial entrepreneur who’s been appointed to the government’s Invest in Women taskforce. With just 2p of every £1 of business funding going to female-founded companies in the UK, Debbie’s on a mission to raise a £250 million pot to create “once in a generation change”.

Best known for selling her multi-million-pound home swap business inspired by Hollywood movie The Holiday, Debbie is hoping more women will become investors in female run start-ups.  Plus, with no change on interest rates, Danni and Laura ask when the Bank of England will start to cut rates and how the status quo is pushing homeowners into mortgages they’ll still be paying off after they reach pension age.
