InvestHer Summit

We are delighted to partner with Ubiqt for our in-person connection tool for the Summit Community! Thanks Jonathan L. Hasson and Lara Varjabedian

It has taken me a week to post about the InvestHer Summit given the sheer volume of learnings and uplifting moments, all embedded in our shared desire for system change and a “lift as you rise” ethos. The intersectionality of international builders across policy, corporates, funding and founding was carefully curated for impact by ⚡Anne Ravanona and team. For me it all distils down to this. For women to receive more global funding beyond the current stagnant 2%, we need more women across ALL levels of decision making - senior leadership, founding teams, investors, boards. 🔢 I could cite all the rigorous evidence-based findings that clearly demonstrates more diversity across investors leads to investments in more diverse startups which in turn leads to better fund returns and more products/services coming to market that benefit society and the planet. 👨👩👦 Instead, I’m going to tell a human story shared by Brian Caulfield on stage - Brian hired Nicola McClafferty when at Molten Ventures. Nicola enlightened Brian about the market opportunity of smart nipple shields for breastfeeding. Brian became an angel investor in Coroflo. 💸 We are all part of closing the gender funding gap, we need more: 🎯 Women investing as angels - check out AwakenAngels + HBAN in Ireland 🎯 Funds hiring more women investors like Molten Ventures 🎯 Women investors launching their own funds like Naseem Sayani (she/her) 🎯 Fund-of-funds, especially governments, investing in emerging women-led funds, more on this hopefully from Ireland Strategic Investment Fund 🎯 Public companies being held to account when in breach of social justice charters, hat tip to Lisa Hayles and Julianne Zimmerman for their work #CommunityIsCapital Global Invest Her has built a powerful community focused on action.  If you’re a founder/funder, check out their directories to bring you both closer. I met some of the most incredible people over the 2 days in Dublin, evergreen relationships in the making. Kudos to all the amazing speakers, special shout out to those on the panels that I was fortunate to moderate. And brava to EY for being lead sponsor of this important movement. Feeling grateful, energised and full of purpose for this next chapter. #WomenAreAMegaTrend #InvestHer #Founders #Funders #PolicyMakers

Really looking forward to our founder ⚡Anne Ravanona moderating an important session on the 24th September next at WEConnect International Europe's showcase event at Disneyland Paris. Did you know that only 1% of corporate procurement worldwide goes to women-owned businesses? I want to help change that by showcasing the work of our partners at WEConnect International Europe, and shining the spotlight on the corporates who are serious about doing business with women. Calling women owned businesses who want to enter European corporate supply chains, this is the conference for you to be at, to make great connections with major corporates who walk the talk on supplier diversity and inclusion.
