Following our post from last week, we will be highlighting an investment trend for females in 2024. Each week for the next 5 weeks we will discuss an area of the current market for female investors and founders. This week: Growing Need for Diverse Investors: The disparity in funding for women-led ventures cannot be resolved by women alone. At the moment, diverse investors are 2x more likely to invest in diverse founders than their non-diverse peers. We love to work with our male allies and would love to partner with anyone who believes in our mission. That being said, we also believe a key component of increasing funding in women-led ventures is increasing diversity of investment teams. Behind the Numbers: Currently in the United States, women make up approximately 11% of investing partners at VC firms. Various studies show that an implicit bias exists in investment decisions and investors consciously or not disproportionately favor male entrepreneurs and startups. Focusing on diversity and inclusivity is a win for both investors and startups with studies finding that teams that have more than one gender and race and ethnicity represented in their teams were found to be more innovative and perform better financially. Summing it Up: Female investors need to get in the game to start driving change and to put our money where our hearts are. The need for female investors is clear and we are here to support any investors, in any stage of their journey. Discover more at https://angelhive.vc.

Following from our post last week, we will be highlighting an investment trend for females in 2024. Each week for the next 6 weeks we will discuss an area of the current market for female investors and founders. This week: Rise of Female Founders in Emerging Markets: Growth in emerging markets is accelerating, with female entrepreneurs leading the charge in Africa, Latin America, and South Asia. These regions are seeing a shift toward tech-enabled businesses that address critical societal issues, including financial inclusion and healthcare access. In fact, women from this region could add as much as $28 trillion, or 26% of GDP in 2 years. Behind the Numbers: As of 2023, 17% of women in developing countries are already entrepreneurs, with an additional 35% aspiring to be. Interestingly, those in the lowest income countries tend to state the most intention of becoming entrepreneurs. And among those females, the top reason stated was the lack of alternative opportunities available to them. In many of these countries, the majority (over 55%) of these businesses are started by young women, between ages 18 and 34. Summing it Up: Women everywhere want to be founders, and even more so where there are not great other options for them. We are backing female entrepreneurs globally, and lending a helping hand where we can.

Following from our post last week, we will be highlighting an investment trend for females in 2024. Each week for the next 7 weeks we will discuss an area of the current market for female investors and founders. This week’s topic is: Increasing Impact of Women-Led Startups: Female founders are pushing boundaries in high-growth sectors like fintech, healthcare, and sustainability. In 2023, women-founded startups raised $20.8 billion globally, a modest improvement but still only about 2.1% of all venture capital funding. Behind the Numbers: Female founders are starting companies at a record rate. In fact, women started 50% of all new businesses in 2023, compared to 29% in 2019. Many women since Covid have cited flexibility as a top driver for starting their own businesses. However, startups and VC-backable companies may represent a smaller portion of that total, with women representing around 14% of those businesses in 2023. The number of women-owned businesses grew 4.5x between 2022 and 2023, far outpacing the same metric for men. Despite more women founders and more women funders, the funding situation for these female-founded startups has not improved markedly over the past few years. There are several factors as to why, though we are hopeful and optimistic that this will change in the coming years. Summing it Up: We are in the middle of a revolution for women-founded businesses. While funding to women-led companies is still lagging, women are gaining momentum. Join Angel Hive in closing the still-apparent gap.

Top Trends in Female Founders for 2024: A Pivotal Moment for Investment 🚀💼 1. Increasing Impact of Women-Led Startups: Female founders are pushing boundaries in high-growth sectors like fintech, healthcare, and sustainability. In 2023, women-founded startups raised $20.8 billion globally, a modest improvement but still only about 2.1% of all venture capital funding. 2. Rise of Female Founders in Emerging Markets: Growth in emerging markets is accelerating, with female entrepreneurs leading the charge in Africa, Latin America, and South Asia. These regions are seeing a shift toward tech-enabled businesses that address critical societal issues, including financial inclusion and healthcare access. 3. Focus on ESG and Purpose-Driven Businesses: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles continue to be a major focus for female founders. Women are at the forefront of creating businesses that prioritize sustainability and social good, drawing in mission-driven investors. We believe in these causes deeply at Angel Hive, and are here to support this ecosystem. 4. Growing Need for Diverse Investors: The disparity in funding for women-led ventures cannot be resolved by women alone. At the moment, diverse investors are 2x more likely to invest in diverse founders than their non-diverse peers. We love to work with our male allies and would love to partner with anyone who believes in our mission. 5. Female-Led Top Returns: Female founders tend to exit their business faster for 2x the return, while female investors, though only 20% of total private investors, make up 70% of top quartile of returns. Diverse-led companies (including women and minorities) also tend to return capital of around 30% higher than their non-diverse peers. 6. Generational Wealth Transfer: As the largest generational wealth transfer in history is set to occur, women are expected to control over $30 trillionby 2030. This shift in financial power presents an opportunity to invest in more female-founded ventures. 7. Women Make Household Decisions: Women have typically made up 80% of household buying decisions and are key drivers in the economy, yet feel vastly underserved. Most common household items are still purposed towards men and are not as helpful towards women. Over the coming weeks, we will break down each of these factors individually and walk you through our take at Angel Hive on these important facets of the diverse venture capital ecosystem. It’s time to bridge the funding gap for women founders. At Angel Hive, we believe in a diverse, inclusive venture capital ecosystem, where women can lead and thrive. But we can't do this alone. We need men to join us on this journey, as allies, mentors, and investors. Together, we can help reshape the future of entrepreneurship and create more opportunities for female founders. Join Angel Hive in supporting the women's venture capital ecosystem. Discover more at https://angelhive.vc.
