Who We Are
We bring a unique combination of investment management track record representing retail, institutional, multilateral and private sector investors, impact investing, with gender equality expertise and hands-on experience working directly with female founders. The intimate understanding of the needs of both investors and female founders gives us exceptional insight into the challenges and opportunities involved in gender lens investing.
Entrepreneur led Investment Model
Dedicated investment professionals work on behalf of female founders to represent them as they raise capital. This shifts the balance of power between entrepreneurs and funders and allows entrepreneurs to be in a much stronger position to attract and negotiate the right type of capital for their business at the best possible terms.
Grounded in the Community
Connecting Founders began as a platform to offer learning, networking, and mentoring opportunities to boot-strapped female founders. We have built a library of business talks, wrap-ups, and other resources to help you stay inspired and motivated as you build your business
50 Female Founders
We have featured 50 female founders from Thailand and the Philippines to capture their “secret sauce” and share lessons learned to inspire others.
Strategic Consulting
We provide management and consulting services to advise funders and private sector firms in designing women-focused programs that promote the female economy.
