We are coming together in community to activate a movement — one that accelerates and activates female investors, women-run venture firms, and female founders in women's sports.
Why now?
A cultural transformation is unfolding across women’s sports, creating space for innovation, influence, and investment. Women’s sports is an industry that surpassed $2.35 billion in global revenue; only 2% of the $75 billion sports sector. Women hold 52% of global wealth and are uniquely positioned to fuel the future of this industry. We seek to connect women LPs and future LPs with the leaders and doers driving innovation in women’s sports.
What You Can Expect
- Meet extraordinary women leaders, founders, investors, and fund managers.
- Learn key insights about the women’s sports ecosystem and investment opportunities.
- Feel energized, connected, and ready to Change the Game and Fund the Future!
What Problem Are We Solving
Women with wealth and influence need knowledge and access about how and where to invest in the women's sports ecosystem. This community will:
- Lift up women running their own investment firms and building new financial models.
- Showcase female founders building businesses in sports.
- Amplify how women-run businesses are proven to be more profitable, have better culture and develop sustainable businesses.
- Superior revenue per dollar invested: Startups with at least one female founder produce $0.78 in revenue per $1 invested vs $0.31 for all-male founded teams (BCG, Why Women-Owned Startups Are a Better Bet)
- Outperformance in VC/fund returns: Companies with a female founder performed 63% better than male-founder peers (SheAngelInvestors citing First Round data)
- Greater longevity and ROI when funded: Women-owned firms that secure funding tend to stay in business longer and deliver better ROI (EY, Study on the societal value of women-led businesses)
Our motto mirrors the work of How Women Lead Credo
Be Fierce Advocates for Each Other.
Say Yes to Helping Each Other.
Be Unabashedly Visible.
Reinforce Her Voice.
Our approach and vision as a community is to...
- Activate people and institutions' full spectrum of Financial Capital into women's sports
- Nurture Social Capital by fostering relationships, networks, and belonging
- Share Intellectual Capital knowledge, expertise, and innovation
- Build consolidated, shared power that ensures core values are embedded, and any (negative) extraction is diffused as women's sports grow in influence and resources
By bringing together women LPs, capital allocators, women-run venture firms, and founders in women’s sports, we seek to move money into women’s sports across the full spectrum of capital (c3, c4, mission related investments, angel investing and venture funds)
