Investment Thesis

How Women Invest operates on the conviction that women founders represent an undervalued asset class generating superior financial returns while driving transformative innovation. The firm’s investment philosophy is grounded in data showing that women generate 35% greater returns than companies founded by men, yet receive only 1.9% of US venture funding. They view this funding gap not as a challenge but as ‘a boundless opportunity to harness untapped potential and drive superior returns.’ Their approach emphasizes that investing in women is simultaneously ‘good for people, the planet, AND profits.’
