When you invest in women the future is bright.<\/h1>\r\n

\"\"\"\"What was the last truly novel idea you heard?<\/p>\r\n

Hang out with us and you’ll hear a bunch, because being a disruptor is the nature of being a female founder.<\/p>\r\n

When the deck is stacked against you, you try harder and you think bigger.<\/p>\r\n

Women are taking different risks and tackling different challenges than those that venture money traditionally funded.<\/p>\r\n

Women are developing businesses that make sense to them and to other women, who, by the way, control 80% of consumer purchasing power.<\/p>\r\n

They are focusing on stages of life long ignored by innovation, and they are creating businesses that outperform.<\/p>\r\n

Help us solve this puzzle…<\/h1>\r\n

\"Accelerator\"As investors, we’re driven by economics, and yet, women receive dramatically less funding than their male counterparts even though they deliver superior returns.<\/p>\r\n

We all know the numbers. \u00a0In 2017 and 2018, female founders received 2.2% of VC dollars.<\/p>\r\n

But female founders actually generate better results. \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\r\n

The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation found that women-led teams generate a 35% higher return on investment than all-male teams.<\/p>\r\n

Does Investing In Women Entrepreneurs Make Good Economic Sense? \u00a0Just ask Reid Hoffman.<\/h1>\r\n
