Directing Impact Capital to Maximize Purpose and Profit | Founder @ImpactableX (Techstars '23) | Tory Burch Fellow | FastCompany 2021 World Changer
Today, I had the opportunity to watch the ChangeNOW panel on "Mobilizing Kickass Investors for Women Entrepreneurs," led by ⚡Anne Ravanona of Global Invest Her. It was empowering to hear about the trillions of investment the panel aspires to mobilize for female-led companies and funds and, of course, their commitment to measure it. "When you start counting, you know what you want to change." ~ Marijn Wiersma, 2X Global According to pitchbook, in 2023, "Women Founders Raised [$34.4B,] 23% of All US VC Money in 2023," a record-high despite an overall slowdown in VC funding activity. This kind of growth comes, at least in part, from the kind of leadership demonstrated at ChangeNow, including Anne, Marijn Wiersma, Stephane Bourbier Founder & Managing partner Asterion Ventures, and Helena Wasserman, CEO & Founder Unstoppable. Fundraising is never easy, but I look forward to the day when we all feel a comparable degree of difficulty. Thank you for creating space for the conversation and handing the mic to a few of the leaders ChangeNOW.
