MINDSET

Did you know that women investors see better investing returns than male counterparts? Lack of confidence brought about by a lack of investment knowledge holds many women back from stepping into our financial influence, not capability.

Without representation through capital allocation our communities, product offerings, and influence are lacking. It's not just about impact but it's good business to fund enterprises building for the future. The funding gaps are massive when looking at women-owned and diverse-owned businesses raising capital. We won't achieve real equity if we don't address who is allocating that capital. Across North America, ethnic and racial minorities represent only 20 percent of managing-director-level investing professionals. Women make up 45% of the total venture capital workforce but only sit in the key role of investment partner 5-16% of the time. So what can we (you) do about it? Watch this panel discussion to hear insight from a diverse set of voices across investing, accelerators, and education. Moderator: Natalie Levy, She's Independent Investments Panelists: Rio Hodges, Antler, Venture Investor and Accelerator Partner Suma Sathyanarayana, Investment Associate at Deming Center Venture Fund (DCVF) and Future Angel Grace Oliva , Colorado Impact Fund Sally Hatcher, Buff Ventures Kevin Allen, Access Mode Keziah Wonstolen, Vannin Chief of Staff

Founder Hour: Go-to-market strategy – Finding your market fit
The inequity in the funding landscape is vast. Less than 2% of Venture Capital funding goes towards women-owned businesses, and that number drops below 1% when we’re talking about Black women-owned businesses. Only 14% of private company board seats are held by women. And a mere $0.43 is earned by women for every dollar owned by men. By offering education and access to investing concepts, community, and opportunity, we at She’s Independent believe we can make investing work better for more people and empower a more equitable future for women. Angel Investing, just one way to invest your money, offers benefits such as ownership, participation, liquidity, and more. We believe in the power of investing as an angel to build skills, level up in your career and life, and transform your mindset around money. Watch our free Intro to Angel webinar to learn about the basics of Angel Investing, from terminology to timelines, and walk away with a foundational level of understanding about how to get started on your Angel Investing journey!
