Event Details
How it works:
You LEARN from experts. You PRACTICE on local women owned businesses. You GIFT $100 to a local woman owned business who pitches that night.
What to expect:
The Day of–
- 20 minutes learning how to invest in small businesses
- 20 minutes listening to two women business owners pitch
- 10 minutes questioning and practicing what you’ve learned –> write a check directly to pitch winner
- 5 minute update from most recent winner – KPIs, Did, Doing, Help from group
- TOAST to creating our vision of women confidently investing in business at the same frequency and return as men
Between Meetings— Active Facebook group to continue learning and ask questions; stay up to date on pitch winners
Why it matters:
Fewer women invest because no one talks to them about investing. This hurts women’s total wealth over time, thereby exacerbating the gender wealth gap.
In 2019, less than 3% of all VC investment went to women-led companies, and only 1/5th of U.S. VC went to startups with at least one woman on the founder team.
Women drive the world economy as we control $31.8 trillion in consumer spending. We need to learn to invest to change the landscape from “consumer spending” to “generational wealth”.
