Dig Deep Breaking the Glass Ceiling in Mining Finance
In this episode, we chat with Beth Borody, who is the founder of Maven, a platform putting real capital and real decision-making power into new hands, particularly women, in a sector where access to opportunity has traditionally been tightly controlled.
Last time Beth was on the show, we talked about why women should be investing in mining. This time, we’re talking about what happens when you stop asking for a seat at the table and start building a new table altogether.
We’ll get into resistance, capital flows, ESG reality versus rhetoric, and whether changing who controls money might change mining itself.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- After identifying that women were often excluded from mining investment due to systemic barriers and a lack of specific research, Beth transitioned from educational advocacy with Femina Collective to founding Maven, a female-led mining company.
- Maven distinguishes itself by building in the open, intentionally making the mining process and investment opportunities accessible to those outside the traditional industry inner circle.
- Maven prioritises a proactive ESG approach, emphasising community partnership and environmental due diligence from day one
- he venture aims to tap into the $1 trillion wealth transfer currently moving into the hands of women, directing that capital toward the mining sector
BEST MOMENTS
"Why aren't we actually building a mining company that's based on the values and ethos of what we've built with Femina?”
"We want to turn that on its head and say, 'No, we don't think so. We think that everyone should have access to mining. Mining's happening in everyone's backyard, especially here in Canada and the US.'"
"The fact of the matter is we need mining so badly right now, and we need so much more mining right now that that pie is only going to get bigger."
"We don't want to have to retrofit later down the road social issues or environmental issues that come up because we just ignored them at the front."
