Description

Presented by Mastercard There are very few FinTech companies run by Black women. In fact, the majority of FinTech companies are run by white men, because—let’s face it—that’s who gets VC funding.Despite the fact that Black women are starting new businesses at a rate faster than anyone else, when it comes to venture capital, Black women still get less than 1% of funding. Enter Tanya Van Court. The former Nickelodeon executive is a founder who’s tipping these stats in the right direction. To date, she's raised over $2M in funding for her kid-friendly money app Goalsetter. She’s disrupting the $127B FinTech industry with her mission to make financial learning fun and accessible and to help families become financially healthy and empower them to achieve their goals. In this episode of WorkParty, we sit down with Tanya to learn more about how she’s making financial literacy more accessible, taking on the FinTech giants, and giving back to the community while she’s at it. Join the party on social @workparty and stay in-the-know at workparty.com. Guest Tanya Van Court @goalsetterco   Produced by Dear Media

Part work, Part party. WorkParty is a movement for a new generation of women like yourself, women who are redefining the meaning of work on their own terms. Welcome to WorkParty the podcast. Where creative and entrepreneurial women celebrate each other’s successes. WorkParty is the vision of Jaclyn Johnson, the powerhouse founder and CEO behind Create & Cultivate, the fastest growing online platform and conference for millennial women in business. In WorkParty the book, Jaclyn spills on how she found the determination to flip her rock bottom moment into hard work and success —and how you can, too. By age 32 she had sold a company, launched a new one, bought her first home, found the love of her life and had a million ups and downs in between. WorkParty the podcast is all the lessons she learned and the advice she wishes she had gotten along the way. You’ll hear from female founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, creatives and so many other badass boss ladies. And what do you get from listening? We’re keeping it 100, giving you that career real-talk, and no BS advice. To check out the WorkParty blog and learn more about the WorkParty book and tour visit WorkParty.com.
