About the event:

Join Nancy Ploeger , IWEC Foundation and Julie Castro Abrams, CEO How Women Lead, to discuss how we are stepping up and joining the movement of 10,000 women saying now is the time to change the world. You’ll hear from Female Founders and Venture Capitalists and learn what female investment has allowed companies to do.

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