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)
