IWD KEYNOTE SPEECH
IWD Keynote speech: "Why female entrepreneurship is a non-negotiable at the investment table".
The British Business Bank study (2019) found that for every £1 of venture capital investment made in the UK, female founders got just 1p, mixed-gender founder-teams got 10p, and 89p went to all-male founders, so why are female founders not accessing the venture capital funding they need?
As a successful female change-maker and entrepreneur, Egbe Manton has worked with both investors and startups seeking investment. She is passionate about female equality and often challenges why women are so often missing from the investment table. In an engaging talk, she will explore why women may be shrinking away from this space, how this can be tackled and how we can dismantle the archaic systems that are stacked against them.
