Juliana Garaizar is a Partner at Greenbackers Investment Capital and a General Partner at Portfolia Rising America Fund. She is also the former Chief Investment Officer at Greentown Labs and former Director of the Texas Medical Center Venture Fund. In Part Two of this episode, Juliana continues the conversation around women, money, investing, and access to capital. She shares why investing is not only a financial decision, but also a way to create impact, support innovation, and help bring more inclusive products, companies, and opportunities into the market. Juliana shares insights on: Why more women need to participate in investing How investing can create a multiplier effect for communities The relationship between wealth, education, and access to capital Why many women feel shame around money, pricing, and asking to be paid How founders can use data to push back against bias when pitching Why diverse and women founders need to know their numbers deeply How investing can be a form of impact, not just financial return Why inclusion is not about “us vs. them,” but about growing the pie Learning by doing, asking questions, and getting comfortable with imperfect action Whether you are a founder, investor, business owner, or someone who wants to better understand how money can be used for impact, this conversation is a reminder that capital is a tool. When more people have access to it, more people can help build the future they want to see. Connect with Juliana: / juliana-garaizar-8443b7
