We are at a time now where the financial position of women is stronger than ever with women controlling most of the consumer spending and standing to inherit a significant portion of the generational wealth transfer. There is a $700 billion opportunity if banks and other institutions do no more than provide financial services for women at the same rate as for men. However, the barriers that have historically impeded women persist, with less than 3 percent of venture capital flowing to female-led startups, the gender pay gap, and unequal responsibilities at home. How will we respond to this catalytic moment? Where are allocators finding the most success? How can investors accelerate the growth of women-owned businesses?
