🔑Key Takeaways🔑

💰 🌐 The Current Investment Landscape: Learn why raising capital has become tougher than ever, especially for women and underrepresented founders. After the capital boom of 2020-2021, liquidity dried up, uncertainty spiked, and exit timelines stretched—all making it harder for startups to survive, let alone thrive.

👩‍🔬 💡 The Female Founder Advantage: Did you know women return up to 72 cents more on every invested dollar compared to men? So, what will it take for female-founded companies to overcome all the funding barriers and extra scrutiny—even though the data’s on our side?

🌱 🤝 Why Women Must Start Investing in Startups: High net worth women can change the game, but what does it take for them to shift from charity donations to funding their mission-driven sister entrepreneurs? Hint: Women need to get more comfortable talking about money, deals, and investments, and learn about the benefits of angel and venture investing.

📈 💸 Generational Wealth Transfer: Women will have more money than ever to invest. Learn about the risks of underinvestment, the need for education about wealth stewardship, and how to move from a scarcity to an abundance mindset.

🔥 🚀 Boldness Wins: Women founders often pitch conservatively, while many male counterparts swing for the fences with confidence. The message? Don’t underplay your vision or undervalue your business—be bold, ask for what you need, and own your big goals, because you are worth investing in.
