THE 
PURPOSE

“This is not just a summit—it’s a movement to place women at the forefront of investment, driving change from the top down and creating a ripple effect that impacts both the industry and the economy.”

Women bring long-term vision, strong leadership, and strategic insight—yet are often overlooked in the investment world.

 

Startups scale better with diverse leadership. When women’s holistic, community-driven mindset meets men’s risk-oriented approach, outcomes improve. Gender-diverse teams are 65% more successful.

 

Our mission: drive more women to invest and reshape the future of innovation through balanced leadership.

Advisor and Venture Partner with How Women Invest Fund III

  • Women think and invest differently. Their strategic vision, long-term focus, and inclusive approach to problem-solving create lasting value. However, the investment world often overlooks the unique expertise women bring to the table, from human resources to finance and branding. Startups need diverse knowledge to scale effectively, and women’s insights are critical to their success. 

    This summit is not just about closing the gap—it’s about fostering collaboration between women and men, where the best results happen. Women’s holistic and community-focused approach, combined with men’s risk-taking and direct action, creates balanced and high-performing teams. Evidence shows that gender-diverse leadership achieves a 65% higher success rate.

    Our goal is twofold: to help more women secure funding and to inspire more women to invest. By driving change from the top, we can create a ripple effect that encourage women to step into the investment world confidently, ensuring their strategic value shapes the future of innovation and economic growth.
