EDUCATION SESSION #1015
The New World of Venture Capital
Research shows that companies with female leaders and board members outperform all-male companies. Yet women receive less than 2% of venture funding and make up only 9% of VC partners.

Take a deep dive into the current landscape of venture capital with Jennifer LeBlanc, author and advocate for women investors and entrepreneurs. Learn what drives VC's in their decisions to fund start-ups or pass on growing companies. Hear about venture investing in emerging markets, digital economies and mobile technology. Consider how today's VC investing may impact environmental and corporate social change of the long-term.

Bring your questions to gain further insights from the VC's sitting on the front lines of investment opportunities. Share your perspective with colleagues as you network over drinks and snacks following the panel discussion.
