In an exciting announcement, How Women Invest, an early-stage venture firm and an integral sister entity to How Women Lead, has successfully raised $100 million for its third fund, How Women Invest Fund III. This remarkable capital infusion underscores the firm's strong commitment to elevating female entrepreneurs who represent an untapped potential within the venture capital landscape. With 40% of startups founded by women generating an impressive 26% greater returns than their male counterparts, yet receiving a mere 2% of venture financing, How Women Invest is poised to shift this narrative. The newly raised funds will be utilized to invest in U.S.-based, female-led and female-majority owned companies across a diverse range of industries, thereby expanding the horizons for women in business. At the heart of How Women Invest’s mission is the belief that female founders are not just contributors, but formidable forces capable of driving significant ecosystem change. Their extensive professional network, comprising over 14,000 women, will further bolster this initiative, providing invaluable resources and support to the companies in which they invest. With a visionary approach, How Women Invest endeavors to close the funding gap and create lasting opportunities for women in the entrepreneurial space.
