a call to action
Creating LAIA: The Feasibility of a Women-Focused Incubator and Accelerator in Los Angeles
Teaching women of all economic levels WHY and HOW to invest in women-owned/led businesses and/or with a gender lens... and change the world!
Women-led businesses are significantly underfinanced. They receive less than 3% of venture capital, 17% of angel investment, and 4% of commercial loans. Yet, women are starting businesses at 1.5 times the rate of men. Companies led by women, that have more women on their boards, or women as decision-makers outperform their competitors on EVERY measure of profitability.
The Challenge
The Opportunity
We are in the midst of the greatest wealth transfer in history, and women will inherit 63% of it. US women currently have control over $11T of investable assets. BUT women don’t actively grow wealth and typically direct money to passive 401(k) investments and charities. BUT IF women are educated on the potential to create wealth in alignment with what they care about, the impact will be significant.
When women succeed economically, they are more likely to use their voices and purchasing power to
INFLUENCE THE WORLD IN A POSITIVE WAY.
Women already have everything they need to effect change. Women can direct existing resources, and through collaboration, align them with their values and the changes we all wish to see in the world. There is enough.
WE ARE ENOUGH.
