Women make up less than 25 per cent of directors on Canadian boards, and only 19.4 per cent of partners at Canadian venture capital firms are women. The result? Since 2014, only 10 per cent of Canadian venture capital investment deals involved shaking hands with a woman.How can Canada’s economy reach its true potential if 51 per cent of the population isn’t fully participating? The future is woman-fundedBy uniting Canada’s untapped women’s wealth, The51 is creating a new critical mass of women investors, making Canada the centre for women-powered capital. With 30% of Alberta’s tech start-ups founded or co-founded by women, The51’s home province is well on its way to achieving this goal; however, with women-founded startups only receiving 2.2% of venture capital available world-wide, The51’s vision spans globally. We know we’ve tapped into something significant because our movement, community and impact continues to grow:Capital Activated*$18MVentures Funded40Investors Activated100+Community21000+*includes pre-fund and The51 Ventures Fund 1. A new critical massFor once, the numbers are on our side. With 30 per cent of Alberta’s tech start-ups founded or co-founded by women, our province leads the nation in women’s entrepreneurship. By uniting Canada’s untapped women’s wealth, we can create critical mass – making Canada the new centre for women-powered capital. We’re on our way to achieving this goal, but our vision expands globally. Women-founded start-ups: By 2030 we want to see the rest of Canada catch up to Alberta, raising the percentage of women-founded start-ups from an average of 13, to 30 per cent. Financing: We want to see Canada increase financing for women-led start-ups by 30 per cent, year over year. The51 swag is here!
