Empowering Start-Ups & Scale-Ups
The share of venture capital investment directed toward female founders has stagnated every year since 2011. With funding being the quintessential factor of success for any start-up, this equity gap creates a lopsided chance of survival for early-stage start-ups and scale-ups with female founders. Funding disparities between male and female founders also pose huge barriers to entry for female innovators, change-makers, and thought-leaders. Listen in on this session as we hear from both female founders who have surmounted adversity in the investment community and female-led start-ups focused on sustainability.
