Venture Capital From HER Perspective
The Statistics:
- ONLY 2.1% of the total capital invested in VC-backed startups in the US went to female founders.
- ONLY 2.4% of VC founding partners are women; 33% of them are women of color.
We want to reduce the gap and see more females in this space!
Join us for an online event where you’ll gain valuable insights into the world of venture capital and the founder’s journey from the perspectives of an Impact Tech Venture Capital GP & an Innovation Center Director at George Washington University School of Engineering.
Learn how to navigate the startup ecosystem and how to build a unique investment strategy. This event is your opportunity to ask questions, hear firsthand experiences, and network with like-minded individuals.
