TechFoundHer presents Irish première screening of Show Her The Money

The Irish premiere of ‘Show Her The Money’ will take place on Friday 24th May at 11 am at the Irish Film Institute, Dublin. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with producer Catherine Gray, founders and investors.

Show Her The Money aims to demystify the world of Venture Capital and address why women get only 2% of available Venture Capital funding.

The film follows four visionary founders as they endure uphill battles to turn their ideas into reality and the women who invest in them.

The movie showcases the rockstar women angel investors who support them and features Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Sharon Gless (known to many from Cagney and Lacey), and award-winning movie producer, author, TEDx speaker, podcast host, and founder of She Angel Investors, Catherine Gray.

“For the first time in history, women are starting their venture capital funds, and we are on a mission to educate women about why we need more women investors to support these funds,”states Gray. “I just couldn’t bear the thought that these innovations would go unfulfilled. I do believe film and television can help change culture – thus the creation of this film. We want SHOW HER THE MONEY to move the needle by telling the stories of these exceptional women. We’re on a 50 city tour and excited to be coming to Belfast and Dublin.”

“TechFoundHer is on a mission to ensure women have the opportunity to fully contribute as tech entrepreneurs and innovators,” says TechFoundHer Lead, Mairin Murray. “Women are currently massively under-represented as the founders of tech companies. This has to change. Tech has no gender, and it’s time we come up with bold solutions to address the underinvestment in women’s startups. Show Her The Money is critical as a key moment to start our campaign for entrepreneur equity – this is a global movement.”

The Dublin event includes a post-screening discussion and Q&A with producer and investor Catherine Gray, Dee Coakely – CEO and founder of Boundless, startup ecosystem connector – Suzanne Mills and Lata Setty VC, How Women Invest Fund, “The New Table”.
