Female Founder Roundtable: Fundraising in Times of AI
Join us for a candid, high-signal Female Founder Roundtable focused on the realities of building and fundraising for a startup in times of AI.
Women-led startups receive just 2–3% of venture capital funding despite consistently outperforming on capital efficiency and returns. They generate more than 2x the revenue per dollar invested yet raise significantly less capital, with smaller checks and fewer opportunities.
The candid conversation will explore:
How to find the right investor fit and avoid wasting time on the wrong ones
How to build credibility and craft a story that earns investor trust
How to use AI tools to identify the right investors, craft outreach, and refine your pitch
How to fundraise without losing momentum on building your company
How to navigate bias, uncertainty, and high-stakes decision-making
Expect practical advice, honest experiences, and actionable strategies. We’ll break down common fundraising mistakes.
