## About How Women Invest

How Women Invest is a venture firm and sister entity to How Women Lead, a professional network of over 24,000 women.

We see that female founders are a force to be reckoned with and are part of an untapped venture capital landscape.

We invest in U.S. based, female-led, and female-majority-owned companies in most industry sectors.

With 40% of companies founded by women, generating 26% greater returns, and yet only 2% of venture backing, How Women Invest focuses on the intersection of this opportunity to create ecosystem change.

Our Investment Criteria

Our fund is singularly devoted to investing in companies founded or co-founded by women. This focus stems from an acute awareness of the underrepresentation and underfunding of women in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

By channeling investments into these companies, the fund not only promotes gender diversity but also taps into the often-overlooked potential and unique perspectives brought by women leaders.

Female founders return 78 cents for every dollar invested as compared to their male counterparts, who return 38 cents for every dollar invested. Investing in women is good for people, the planet, AND profits.

​▪ 100% female founded/lead ▪ Target market over $500 million, B2B Preferred ▪ Tech-enabled ▪ US-based ▪ Beyond proof of concept ▪ Diverse clients and/or contracts in place ▪ Pre-Seed stage through Series B investment rounds ▪ Clear exit strategy within 5-7 Years
