Women, Wealth & Capital: Funding Paths for Female Founders

​Funding your business shouldn’t feel confusing, opaque, or reserved for a select few.

​And yet for many founders, it does.

​This session is designed to change that.

​Women, Wealth & Capital is a new series created to open up honest, practical conversations around money, funding, and ownership. It’s about giving founders the clarity and confidence to make strategic decisions, not reactive ones.

​We’re starting with the foundations.

​What this session is about

​In this first session, we’ll break down the different ways you can fund and grow your business and what those options actually mean in practice.

​We’ll cover:

• ​Grants, debt, equity, and alternative funding options

• ​When each type of capital makes sense (and when it doesn’t)

• ​The trade-offs most founders overlook

• ​How funding decisions impact your long-term ownership

• ​How to start thinking about capital as a strategy, not just a necessity

​This is not a pitching session.
It’s a decision-making session, featuring capital experts and female founders who've taken these pathways to grow their business.

​Who this is for

• ​Early-stage founders exploring funding for the first time

• ​Founders considering raising capital and wanting to be more strategic

• ​Operators and investors who want to better understand how capital works.
