Broadmic Startup Shortcuts

What does it take to become the first woman in the history of Goldman Sachs to be promoted into sales management? That accomplishment was just the beginning of Janet Hanson’s career. Kelly Hoey and Janet talk about how her early career at Goldman prompted her to strike out on her own as founder/CEO of Milestone Capital and 85 Broads, the global business women’s network now known as Ellevate.  Janet’s early support of female founders is legendary, and includes angel investments in companies such as LearnVest and AHA Life.
