INTRODUCING THE FOUNDRY
The FOUNDRY helps further Venture:F’s mission via events and collaborations that build community among women who are committed to investing in women.
This invitation-only network is for women in finance, investors, fund managers, and family offices.
The FOUNDRY builds community and deal flow among investors and fund managers, and facilitates relationships within the investing ecosystem.
We host private events, provide exclusive invitations to events within our network, and make strategic introductions to facilitate the flow of capital to women-led funds and later-stage companies raising Series B+.
WHAT?
Women will control 66% of the US wealth in the next decade. How that wealth is invested can significantly impact change. Additionally, more women are stepping into family office, CIO, and fiduciary roles. These women need greater access to women-led investment opportunities.
Women launch businesses that solve problems that women care about (climate innovation, the future of care, women’s health) and although they receive less than 2% of venture capital, women represent 25% of the overall annual exits, and return a 35% higher ROI than their male counterparts.
Women-led funds are at the forefront of these investment opportunities, with greater deal-flow due to their networks.
