Join us for a networking and pitch event designed to cultivate a supportive community among female founders, investors, and business leaders. This event offers a unique platform for attendees to not only support female-founded ventures but also explore opportunities to invest in these innovative businesses.

Attendees will have the chance to demystify high-growth potential ventures as an asset class, discussing the value and importance of supporting this systemically underrepresented sector. Through engaging presentations, participants will discover resources tailored to female founders, connect with local angel groups and professional investors, and explore educational opportunities in angel investing.

Whether you are an experienced or aspiring angel investor, a risk-capital ecosystem builder, philanthropist, business leader, or other ecosystem builder, this event provides a welcoming space to expand your network, gain valuable insights, and contribute to the advancement of women in business. Come and be part of a movement that is reshaping the entrepreneurial landscape, one investment and connection at a time.

Women on the Rise is an initiative of the Venture Central U.S. EDA Build to Scale grant titled 'Diversify-Connect-Fund.' The goal for the grant work is to identify more, and more diverse investors for our region
