Investing in Women's Sports Symposium

Why We’re Gathering

We are coming together to activate a movement — one that accelerates women-run venture firms and female investors with the visibility, capital, and influence to invest in women’s sports.

Why now?

A cultural transformation is unfolding across women’s sports, creating space for innovation, influence, and investment. Women’s sports is an industry projected to surpass $2.35 billion in global revenue by 2025 (Deloitte). Here’s the opportunity: Women hold 52% of global wealth and are uniquely positioned to fuel the future of this industry. We will connect women LPs and future LPs with the leaders and doers driving innovative investing in women’s sports.

What You Can Expect

• Meet extraordinary women leaders, investors, and fund managers.

• Learn key insights about the women’s sports ecosystem.

• Curate your dealflow to learn about investment opportunities

• Walk away energized, connected, and ready to change the game and fund the future!

What Problem Are We Solving

Women with wealth and influence need knowledge and access about how to invest. This event will:

• Build confidence in taking her own investment steps.

• Address the emotional and systemic barriers holding women back from taking the first steps in investing while lifting other women up who are running their own investment firms and, lastly, helping female founders build businesses - giving all of us a chance.

• Amplify how women-run businesses are proven to be more profitable, have better culture and develop sustainable businesses.

• Superior revenue per dollar invested: Startups with at least one female founder produce $0.78 in revenue per $1 invested vs $0.31 for all-male founded teams (BCG, Why Women-Owned Startups Are a Better Bet)

• Outperformance in VC/fund returns: Companies with a female founder performed 63% better than male-founder peers (SheAngelInvestors citing First Round data) 

• Greater longevity and ROI when funded: Women-owned firms that secure funding tend to stay in business longer and deliver better ROI (EY, Study on the societal value of women-led businesses)
