When Anu Duggal started her first business, a wine bar in Bombay, she was entering a sector that she had no experience in. But she didn’t let that stop her, in fact, she leveraged that inexperience to generate new insights and innovation. In the years that followed, she grew into an entrepreneurial powerhouse, launching the Female Founders Fund in 2014, investing in early stage female founders. Since then, Anu has appeared on Fortune’s “40 under 40” Crain’s “Notable Women in Tech” list and been included in Business Insider’s “Ultimate List of Female Startup Investors.”
