Episode Synopsis

This week, we have Jazmyn from Women in Tek Network joining us for a fascinating conversation about her journey into the incubation space in Cambodia. WTN is one of the few incubation programs in the country fully dedicated to advancing women's entrepreneurship. Jazmyn is Cambodian-Canadian, having also lived and worked in Canada, Laos, and Thailand. She is intent upon making a big difference in the entrepreneurial community in Cambodia, driving forward the case for women tech entrepreneurship, acting as a mentor, mediator, and confidant to some of the most talented up and coming women entrepreneurs in the country. 
What we get into:
- 'Headstrong with an immense clarity in their direction'; how Khmer women entrepreneurs are making waves in the tech community
- Why incubators should not have a start and endpoint; the need for long term community-driven support for entrepreneurs
- Getting more VC/PE investment into Cambodia; create a flywheel of successful Cambodian entrepreneurs reinvesting in startups
