Accelerating the success of female founders

13%

The fact is

Women-led businesses have been largely overlooked by the investment community.

13% of Penn Wharton founders
are women and they raise 6%
of the venture capital

We believe in

We believe in a powerful Wharton network that lifts women up and helps them succeed.

We believe in a world where any Wharton woman can start, grow and fund a wildly successful business.

We believe in a “yes bias” for Wharton women, where fellow alums take the call, make the intro and if they say “no,” they explain why.
