Show Her the Money - Film Screening & Panel
Join us for an unforgettable evening at The University of Tulsa with a special screening of Show Her the Money, followed by an inspiring panel featuring our JOLT Signature Speaker, Producer and Creator Catherine Gray, as well as founders + funders in the Tulsa ecosystem.
Show Her the Money is an award-winning documentary that exposes the gender gap in venture capital funding, where women receive less than 2% of all VC investment, and introduces the founders and investors working to change that reality.
This isn't just a film screening. It's a movement.
What You'll Experience:

Watch the powerful 90-minute documentary that's sparking conversations about who gets funded and why. Through intimate storytelling and eye-opening data, you'll meet the women entrepreneurs fighting for capital and the investors championing change.
