“We saw that only 9% of assets under management in venture capital are in the hands of women, and that only around 2% of VC money every year goes to female founders”, Kinga Stanislawska says. This motivated her to launch European Women in VC.
The discussion also touches on how AI can empower female entrepreneurs, because AI can simplify the process of starting marketing campaigns, building websites and more.
In Africa there is a particular need to create more opportunities for female entrepreneurs and executives, Nela Duke Ekpenyong points out. “We have a lot of powerful people, most of them being men, but we don’t have powerful institutions”, she says. Organizations like LEGA.C Capital, she believes, are important to drive “sustainable development in Africa.”
