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.
Roy: It’s great to be here, Spiffy! Our vision is to build stronger, healthier, and more inclusive communities through sports. We do that by creating opportunities for access to sports by working to pay participation fees, find sports equipment, gain access to training facilities, provide transportation, and supply tickets to sporting events. Our mascot named SPORTe is spelled with an “E” because sports are for everyone, and not with a “Y” because nobody should have to ask WHY they cannot play sports.
