- 20:45It's
- 20:45not
- 20:45just
- 20:45the
- 20:46woman,
- 20:46but
- 20:46it's
- 20:46the
- 20:47family,
- 20:47the
- 20:47community
- 20:48that
- 20:48prospers.
- 20:50So
- 20:50it
- 20:50says
- 20:51in
- 20:51Boundless
- 20:51Futures,
- 20:52your
- 20:52mission
- 20:52is
- 20:52to
- 20:53provide
- 20:53financial
- 20:54and
- 20:54leadership
- 20:55resources
- 20:55for
- 20:56female
- 20:56founders

- 20:58for
- 20:58both
- 20:58growth
- 20:59and
- 20:59good.
- 21:00So
- 21:00tell
- 21:00us
- 21:01how
- 21:02you
- 21:02do
- 21:02this.
- 21:03So
- 21:03we
- 21:03really
- 21:04started
- 21:04thinking
- 21:04about
- 21:05this
- 21:05nonprofit
- 21:06and
- 21:06started
- 21:06thinking
- 21:07about
- 21:07what
- 21:07are
- 21:08the
- 21:08pillars
- 21:08in
- 21:08which
- 21:08we
- 21:09want
- 21:09to
- 21:09base
- 21:09this
- 21:09support
- 21:10on.
- 21:10I
- 21:11think,
- 21:11first
- 21:11and
- 21:11foremost,
- 21:1343%
- 21:13of
- 21:14businesses
- 21:14in
- 21:14the
- 21:14US
- 21:15are
- 21:15owned
- 21:15by
- 21:15women,
- 21:16small
- 21:16businesses.
- 21:16Yet
- 21:17women
- 21:17only
- 21:17get
- 21:183
- 21:18less
- 21:18than
- 21:193%
- 21:19of
- 21:20venture
- 21:20capital.
- 21:20So
- 21:21the
- 21:21first
- 21:21problem
- 21:21is
- 21:21funding.
- 21:22So
- 21:22we
- 21:23give
- 21:23$50,000
- 21:24grants.
- 21:24So
- 21:25this

- 21:25money
- 21:25they
- 21:25do
- 21:26not
- 21:26have

- 21:27They
- 21:27just
- 21:27have
- 21:27to
- 21:27show

- 21:28plan
- 21:29and
- 21:29some
- 21:30trajectory
- 21:30of
- 21:30success.
- 21:31So
- 21:31it's
- 21:32a
- 21:32business
- 21:32under
- 21:33five
- 21:33years
- 21:33old.
- 21:34So
- 21:35that's
- 21:35one.
- 21:35And
- 21:35that
- 21:36is
- 21:36the
- 21:36funding
- 21:37part.
- 21:37But

- 23:41But
- 23:42your
- 23:42great
- 23:42mission
