About the Event
Women are entering one of the greatest wealth shifts in modern history. As trillions of dollars move into women’s hands and more than $10 trillion in small businesses prepare to transition ownership, new pathways are opening to build wealth through ownership and investing.
Join Village Search Partners and How Women Invest for a conversation exploring two powerful paths:
• Venture investing — backing founders and the companies shaping the future
• Entrepreneurship through acquisition — acquiring and growing established businesses
We’ll explore how women can participate as investors, acquisition entrepreneurs, mentors, advisors, and board members, while connecting with a community stepping into ownership and deploying capital with intention.
