Only 2% of venture capital funding goes to women-led companies globally, despite female founders generating 2.5x more revenue per dollar invested. The entrepreneurial ecosystem is ripe for transformation, with the potential for equal gender participation in entrepreneurship to unlock global GDP by an estimated rise from 3-6%. Despite systemic barriers continuing to limit female founders' access to capital we see some positive indicators in the right direction.
UBS is hosting a panel discussion during Cambridge Tech Week to explore the opportunities to fund more women founders, revolutionize investment strategies, explore what is working and what’s not and discuss what more can be done to unlock the full economic potential of women-led businesses. The discussion will be run by Emma Wheeler, Head of Women’s Wealth at UBS, and our panellists of female founders and venture capitalists who will share their valuable experience during the workshop.
