Do you take pride in making your own money?

Investing in startups can be a gamechanger for your financial future, allowing you to build wealth and deploy your capital in direct accordance with your values. Too often, though, women don't participate, leaving lifelong upsides on the table.

How Women Invest has opened the eyes of hundreds of women through this class taught by Nancy Hayes.

Nancy has served as a senior executive at the IBM Corporation, CEO of 2 social services non-profit organizations, Dean of the College of Business at San Francisco State University, and then Vice President of Finance / CFO of that university.  She co-founded a crowdfunding site for women with small businesses. She is an active angel investor with a portfolio of more than 25 women-led companies and serves as a mentor to many entrepreneurs.
