Stropro would like to host you to enjoy lunch with like minded women in investing. This is an opportunity to network and hear from their lineup of incredible speakers, who will share their expertise on leadership, entrepreneurship, and the importance of driving positive impact in early-stage investing.
Introducing the panelists, Cathryn Lyall (Partner, Seed Space Venture Capital), Hannah Mourney (Investment Analyst, Giant Leap VC), Grace Matthew (Managing Director, WeThink), and Anto Joseph (CEO & Co-Founder, Stropro).
Research shows that startups with female founders consistently outperform those led solely by men, generating higher profits and higher returns on investment.
A study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and MassChallenge found that female-led businesses generated 12% higher revenues annually, using an average of a third less capital than male-led startups. Per dollar of investment, startups founded by women generated 78 cents, while male-founded startups generated only 31 cents – less than half. Cathryn will discuss the qualities women bring to building a successful business, how they manage the challenges and why investors would be smart to back female entrepreneurs.
