We are standing at the edge of a new era. The Age of AI isn’t on the horizon—it’s already here, transforming industries, disrupting business models, and reshaping the future of work. And yet, if history has taught us anything, it’s that innovation without inclusion leaves too many behind.
That’s why this moment matters more than ever.
As I’ve continued touring with Show Her The Money over the past few months, I’ve had countless conversations with women founders, investors, and changemakers who are not only watching the AI revolution unfold—they’re actively building in it. The truth is: women are uniquely positioned to lead in this space. We bring a lens of responsibility, creativity, and ethics to innovation. But we need access to capital to do it.
Here’s why investing in women—and especially in women leveraging AI—isn’t just a social good, it’s a smart investment:
- AI needs diverse perspectives. Without women at the table, we risk creating biased systems that reflect past inequalities. Diverse teams build more ethical, accurate, and scalable AI.
- Women-led companies outperform. Numerous studies have shown that women-led startups deliver higher ROI. Add AI to the mix, and you're looking at scalable innovation with impact.
- The next wave of solutions is coming from lived experience. Women are building AI tools for caregiving, education, healthcare, climate resilience—industries traditionally underfunded but critical to our future.
If you're an investor and haven’t yet added women-in-AI startups to your portfolio, now is the time.
If you're a company, university, or foundation looking to educate and activate around these issues, consider hosting a screening of Show Her The Money. It's more than a film—it's a movement. And we’d love to partner with you.
And let’s be clear: this is not a pipeline problem—it’s a funding problem. Women are founding AI startups at record rates, building everything from ethical automation tools to platforms that ensure accessibility and inclusion. What they need is the runway to scale. The capital to experiment. The backing to compete. When we invest early and equitably, we unlock the full potential of AI to benefit everyone—not just a select few.
The Age of AI will define the next generation of wealth, wellness, and global influence. The question isn’t whether women will be part of it—it’s whether we’ll fund them in time to lead it. Let’s not miss this moment. Let’s show her the money
