Overview

Invest Together in Women-Led Impact (previously the Women-Led Impact Investor Challenge) brings purpose-driven founders together with like-minded, supportive impact investors to learn about impact investing as a joint cohort. Spring has thoughtfully designed a successful program that addresses the unique challenges women and non-binary founders face as they raise funds in spaces where they are consistently underrepresented and excluded. This is an intentionally collaborative, supportive experience with none of the usual BS.

Together, the founders and investors will learn about impact measurement, due diligence and more in practice while building relationships. Selected founders will be invited to continue to the next stages in the Challenge, culminating in a pitch finale where one company takes home a pooled cohort investment of approximately $100K.

Whether you’re curious about impact investing, or an experienced impact investor seeking to level up your gender-lens investing, this educational opportunity gives you hands-on learning and connections that last well beyond the program. Registration for this learning experience is evaluated on a rolling basis until the cohort is full.
