NON-PROFIT CLOSING THE GENDER WEALTH GAP
Fueling the future of exceptional female talent.
We back self-starting women with the capital, education and network to win - in sport, science and the arts.
Talent is everywhere. Investment isn't.
Traditional finance funds patterns and networks, not merit, and it leaves future female leaders unfunded.
$0T
Women-owned SMEs face a $1.5T global credit gap —
over 70% lack adequate access to capital.
We're widening access to capital and expanding what's possible.
WHAT WE FUND
We're a non-profit funding exceptional female talent across STEM, Arts and Sport.
We deliberately target the sectors where women are most underrepresented and where the economic multipliers are highest.
- STEM
Companies with at least one female founder returned 63% more than all-male teams (First Round Capital, 2026)
- ARTS
Women artists outperformed men in resale returns; sales up 105% over the past decade (Bank of America, 2026)
- SPORT
Women's elite sports revenue to hit ≥$3B in 2026, up 340% since 2022 (Deloitte, 2026)
