Check out these stats about female investors and leaders in our latest post. And I have another one to add: 🤯 Currently, female funded companies receive less than two pennies of every venture capital dollar. Two cents. Does this make sense to you? It's doesn't to me. We've (Regenerative Food Systems Investment ) created an event to support women leading the regenerative food system investment space, I hope you can join us, learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gxsdRHSH #WTF2 #womenleaders #womeninfinance #leadership #genderequity #femaleinvestors #femalefounders #womeninfinance #foodsystemstransformation #foodfinance https://lnkd.in/g9NBYnrn
The basics. Why women? Research shows: ○ Increasing the diversity of leadership teams leads to more and better innovation and improved financial performance. ○ Women led companies and investors have proven to yield strong, if not better, outcomes. ○ Businesses founded by women deliver more than twice as much per dollar invested than those founded by men. ○ Women investors consistently outperform their male counterparts. Why now? The time is ripe to address this, because... 💥 66% of consumer wealth will belong to women in the next decade. 📖 Women now account for more than half (50.7%) of the college-educated labor force in the United States. 🤓 Women now comprise nearly 60% of enrollment in universities and colleges, reports the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. 🤑 Companies with more than 30% female executives are more likely to outperform companies that lack that representation according to McKinsey. 🤔 Yet Women remain vastly underfunded, lag in leadership role across finance and investment companies, and have significantly lower representation on boards. On November 14-15 in Atlanta we will move the dial to advance women’s leadership in food systems transformation.
