FEMALE FOUNDERS
ONLINE DEMO DAY

I truly believe the zeitgeist of the venture community will be strengthen if the founders behind venture-backed ideas accurately represent our population. After all, statistics show that diverse teams raise more funds and succeed at higher rates, and it's no surprise investing in diverse founders is not just good business, it's smart business.

I’m focused on impacting and inspiring the entire ecosystem of funding: from cultivating more female limited partners and female venture capital partners to funding more female founders and the products and services they create. This is whole systems change and a world in better harmony.

Finding solutions to the world's most pressing problems requires funding the brightest minds. And if you're not funding women, you're missing out on half of the brightest minds possible. No founder would ignore half their market, and no investor should, either. Investing in female founders is fundamental.

Venture capital investment is essentially all about people. Women make up half the population, so why female founders and investors only hold single digit percentage of the industry? If it’s not because of IQ (of course not), we have to fix it.

I believe that there is not a role or job that woman cannot get. and when one woman helps another, great things happen.
