Female Investors Club & How Women Invest invite you to celebrate International Women's History Month in NYC
Venture capital is no longer just the domain of Sand Hill Road - it is rapidly becoming a core allocation for family offices, wealth advisors, & private investors seeking exposure to innovation & long-term asymmetric returns.
Join us for an engaging conversation on why venture capital is increasingly top of mind for high-net-worth individuals, wealth advisors, & family offices while in the midst of the greatest transfer of wealth in history combined with a 31% increase in Family Offices since 2019 (now 8,000) & that Family offices will manage $5.4 trillion by 2030. (That's more than the entire hedge fund industry.)
Hear directly from venture fund managers, family offices & asset allocators about their investing career journeys, how each panelist participates in venture capital, as well as the challenges & significant opportunities in 2026+.
