Venture capital doesn’t just create wealth, it shapes the future. Start-up funding decisions have the power to steer innovation, drive the direction of economic growth, and influence the companies and products that impact our daily lives.
As more women become venture investors, they wield more of that power. Whether as angel investors, venture fund limited partners, or fund managers, women direct capital to a wider community of founders, fuel solutions to a broader range of problems, and create more leadership and impact opportunities for themselves.
To empower more women in commanding the power of capital, I’ve partnered with Athena Alliance to launch Athena Academy’s Become an Investor Course. This nine-week program equips participants with the knowledge and confidence to navigate venture investing – from sourcing and evaluating deals to understanding venture economics and negotiating term sheets.
