Startup & Innovation Teams: Better Returns with Gender Balance

How might entrepreneurs and innovation teams tap into gender diversity as a success strategy from day one?

How do we act on the data showing that ROE is 35% higher in organizations that include women among senior management? Venture capital firm First Round Capital found that investments in companies with female founders performed 63% better than in all-male firms. What can we do, as leaders and entrepreneurs, to leverage these facts when we build our teams? Why don’t we know this and why don’t we act on it.

Join us! Together we will explore and create actions that will impact a women’s ability to realize her full economic potential and contribution. This is a company and investor issue.

The 50 ACTION 50 Committee brings a spot light to these facts. The forum workshop results in you having actions you can take within your organization to foster better returns via balanced teams.

WE ARE MOVING FROM CONVERSATION TO ACTION. ARE YOU?
