Honored to be one of the winners of the InvestHer Summit's Global Pitch Competition for Podopolo. Thank you ⚡Anne Ravanona for bringing so many inspiring #femalefounders together and supporting us - and congrats to all the other winners! When thinking of women #entrepreneurs, it is important for #investors to remember these stats: Women-founded companies in VC portfolios outperform those founded by men, by any measurement. While female-founded and led companies get 1.9% of VC investment (Pitchbook), they return more than twice per dollar invested (Boston Consulting Group), performing 63% better than all-male founding teams and generating 35% higher IRR. But wait, there's more: By not investing in women-owned businesses, #venture investors have lost participation in the generation of $39.6 Trillion (Morgan Stanley). Further, women-founded businesses generally exit faster for double the return (Pitchbook). Meanwhile, ethnically-diverse teams have a 35% higher likelihood of financially outperforming non-diverse teams (McKinsey). Women and diverse teams also address unrepresented large markets with fresh and differing perspectives that spot opportunities others overlook! So check out these founders who are doing amazing things!
Honored to be on this list next to you and the other amazing women! Let's connect!
