In this episode of Now You Know, we find out what it takes to create a billion-dollar company. Tech entrepreneur, Silvina Moschini, is the first Latina to lead a company to unicorn status - a business that’s valued over a billion dollars without being listed on the stock market. And, she’s determined to hold the door open for all women to achieve financial success and independence.
