Why should women be investing in women? And why is funding more women going to save our planet?
Recently I had the pleasure of speaking at the Delthorne Women Tedx Event during covid. The talk entitled Fund Women- Save the World, is about why women need funding, the reasons we are so underfunded, how we will solve this problem! Since we get less than 3% of venture capital funding- we must level the playing field!
As a serial entrepreneur for most of my life, I know all too well how underfunded women are, and why this is important to our future. As an award winning producer, I do believe it is film and television that shape culture, and it is why TV and film will educate and inspire people to get behind female entrepreneurs. That is why I am launching the film series SHE ANGELS online January 16th- as it captures our SHE ANGELS pitch fest and the journeys of the women business owners who were the recipients of funding and mentorship.
We feature the female angel investors who get behind them and coach them- to inspire audiences to get involved in the exciting world of funding breakthrough ideas of female entrepreneurs! As I mention in my Tedx Talk, there are many reasons for this inequity. One main reason is we simply do not have enough female angel investors and not enough female decision makers in the venture capital world.
