Women’s Equity Day is a reminder that equity isn’t achieved simply by opening the door. It’s achieved when women have equal access to opportunity, capital, leadership, pay, and power.

At Women Business Collaborative, we believe progress happens when we move from conversation to action, together.

Today, we’re recognizing the women building companies, leading organizations, creating opportunities, and pushing industries forward. But there is still work to do, and we need more people at the table.

Join Women Business Collaborative and be part of the movement to advance equal position, pay, and power for women in business.

What if raising equity isn’t the only way to fund your next stage of growth?

Founders today have more options than ever, from revenue-based financing and venture debt to embedded finance and other non-dilutive and hybrid capital solutions.

At the Women’s Capital Summit, “Rethinking Capital: Alternative Funding Strategies for Founders” will help entrepreneurs better understand these options, when they make sense, and how to align a capital strategy with their business model and growth goals.

Join Mary Donohue MPA, Executive Director of the Revenue Based Finance Coalition (RBFC), Vik Thapar, Managing Director of Cypress Growth Capital, and Le'Jean Thompson, Senior Regional Development Manager of Founders First Capital Partners, for a practical conversation designed to help founders think differently about how they fund growth.

You’ve built the business. Now, how do you protect it as it grows?

At the Women’s Capital Summit, “Protecting What You’ve Built: Legal Strategies for Business Owners” will give founders, owners, and executives practical strategies for navigating the legal considerations that become increasingly important as a business matures.

From protecting business assets and confidential information to managing employee relationships, partnerships, and long-term growth plans, this conversation will focus on the legal planning that can help business owners reduce risk and build a stronger foundation for what comes next.

Because legal strategy shouldn’t start when there’s a problem. It should be part of the growth strategy.

Join Louise Kennedy, Founding Attorney at West Hill Technology Counsel, moderated by Laura Taylor, Senior Vice President, Strategic Financial Services & WBE Engagement at WBENC, at the Women’s Capital Summit, October 6–7 in New York City.
