53+ Must Follow Women Leaders in Investing

Like many fields, investing and finance continue to be male-dominated. For far too long, harmful stereotypes and outdated excuses have perpetuated the lack of diversity in these spaces:


  • "There aren’t enough qualified women who want to become VCs."[*]

  • "Women aren’t as capable at business as men."[*]

  • "Women don’t have enough experience to know what good investments look like."[*]


The reality is stark: while approximately 38% of new businesses started in the U.S. are women-led, less than 2% receive venture funding. This imbalance is unjust and a missed economic opportunity, as studies consistently show that diverse teams and leadership lead to better outcomes.


So, we set out to find the women in investing who are breaking barriers and shaping where capital flows—women who are making waves across venture capital, private equity, angel investing, and family offices.


Why Representation in Investing Matters


Investing is not just about dollars and cents; it’s about shaping the future. When women are underrepresented in decision-making roles, the companies and founders they support—or don’t support—reflect that imbalance. Empowering and elevating women in investing can create a more equitable ecosystem where diverse founders have a real chance at success.


Highlighting the trailblazing women in investing is one step toward change. These women are changing the narrative, challenging stereotypes, and redefining what leadership in investing looks like.
