• TOAST to creating our vision of women confidently investing in business at the same frequency and return as men

Between Meetings— Active Facebook group to continue learning and ask questions; stay up to date on pitch winners

Why it matters:

 Fewer women invest because no one talks to them about investing. This hurts women’s total wealth over time, thereby exacerbating the gender wealth gap. In 2019, less than 3% of all VC investment went to women-led companies, and only 1/5th of U.S. VC went to startups with at least one woman on the founder team. Women drive the world economy as we control $31.8 trillion in consumer spending. We need to learn to invest to change the landscape from “consumer spending” to “generational wealth”.
