LinkedIn LIVE!! BARBIE & The New Table - Seizing our Collective Power in Venture

About the event:

Lights! Camera! Action! Are you feeling the Barbie Buzz? CEO of How Women Lead, Julie Castro Abrams, sits down for a conversation with founding partner Carmen Palafox from 2045 Capital - one of our women-led VC firms that we have partnered with for The New Table campaign, and female founder of @CZero, Cat Turner, to discuss:

• How Barbie changed the game for us - Connecting! Supporting! Investing!
• Why our movement to get 10,000 women to invest in women-led companies is important to continue Barbie’s success
• How the venture capital ecosystem works
• Why these women joined The New Table to create a historical movement

Description:

Women have more education, start 40% of businesses, and by 2030 are expected to control $30 trillion of US wealth. And yet:

• Only 1.9% of venture funding goes to women-led companies.
• Only 14% of corporate board seats are held by women.
• Only 1.4% of wealth is managed by women or people of color combined

Just as Ruth Handler fought to get Barbie to market because the male board members couldn’t see it - Join us LIVE for a conversation and plan of action to change the face of venture capital for women, that will change the power base in our country!
