Women control more than 50% of all personal wealth in the United yet less than 10% of investors at angel, venture and private equity funds are women. Furthermore, while woman entrepreneurs represent 36% of all businesses in the United States, women CEOs receive less than 10% of venture capital dollars. Gender inequity has long been a challenge in private investing with minimal growth in the number of female investors over the past 50 years.
Women In Venture showcases entrepreneurs and discusses the how's and why's angel, venture and private equity in the Commonwealth can be a smart, viable vehicle for wealth management and growth.
