Join us for mimosas and tea sandwiches at Tidbits & Takeaways tomorrow, July 29, at Helix Park, where we’ll learn why female-led investors are choosing to back female entrepreneurs.
In 2020, you founded Curate Capital, a venture capital firm focused on investing in women. Why is it important to you to invest in women?
First and foremost, investing is women is not a charitable or philanthropic decision; it’s an arbitrage opportunity. It just makes good business sense!
Women are underfunded, yet consistently outperform their male counterparts, so as an investor it makes perfect business sense to back founders who can drive outsized returns.
Plus, if we can make an impact while doing so, that makes it all the more gratifying.
What do you say to encourage women to invest in female-backed businesses?
Peter Lynch once said, “Invest in what you know.” I would take that a step further and say, “Invest in what you like.”
For me, it’s been so gratifying to see so many women actually understand and like the companies that they are investing in via Curate Capital! Beyond the investment itself, they can support the brands by buying their products and telling their friends and family about the companies. It’s really fun to see them come alive with excitement as they talk about these investments.
Knowledge is power. So, arm yourself with as much information as possible so that you can decide what’s best for you in your personal financial journey.
If you are interested in investing in women-owned companies, make sure you choose a venture capital fund like Curate who does their due diligence and takes the responsibility of investing your money very seriously.
