For #InternationalWomensDay, Stan Stalnaker hosted a special episode of the Chronicle Discussions and was joined by Sophia Swire, Marika Svardstrom, Charmaine Chin, and Carine de Meyere, a quartet of investors working to help tackle gender equality.
As Sophia mentions, unfortunately, we seemed to have taken a slide backwards in achieving the SDG's gender equality goal. Currently, a staggeringly low 2.3% of venture capital and private equity finding globally goes towards female-led teams, even though female-led teams out-perform male-led businesses (already down from a very low 3%). This needs to change.
With this network, GEDI's focus is to help amplify investment into female-led companies - especially women in STEM as this means more females in renewable energy and other climate-related fields, and in turn will lead to more diverse ways to think about climate resilience.
