Gone are the days of waiting for a seat at the table—we’re building a new one where women investors fund female founders.
Did you know that only 2.1% of venture capital went to women-founded companies in 2022? Together let’s change the inequity in venture capital by getting 10,000 women to commit to investing in women-run companies.
​The New Table is a community of 10,000 women who are saying that now is the time to change the status quo in venture capital. Not only is investing in venture capital a huge power play for your personal life, but it is also how we change the leadership of corporate America. Take the Pledge to confirm your commitment to joining the cause.
When you join The New Table, we will send you all the resources you need to get started!
“Today’s a new day. Women have the power, wealth and influence to come together and create a new table of sisterhood that will change the face of venture capital and as a result change the world. We can make an impact together.”
—Julie Castro Abrams, Founder & CEO, How Women Lead and Managing Partner, How Women Invest
