Abbie: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Increasing representation of those who haven't historically sat at the table. True Wealth Ventures invests in early-stage, women-led companies improving human or environmental health. In 2022, across the US, 2% of venture capital (VC) dollars went to all-female-founded companies, according to PitchBook. For companies with a male in the founding leadership, that number jumped to 14.9%. For all-female teams, the numbers have changed little in the last ten years. In fact, VC dollars for all-female companies sat at 2% in 2012 and peaked at 2.9% in 2013. Meanwhile, the trajectory for male and female teams more than doubled from 6.9% in that decade. True Wealth Ventures hopes to change that narrative for female founders.
Max: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. Right now, not everyone has the opportunity to work on the problems they care most about. Starting your own company is one of the best ways to make real change in the world, but it requires a lot of resources and support from a lot of people, and in today's world, those people and resources are not easy to find. We are trying to change that.
