Overview

The Women-Led Impact Investor Challenge empowers participants to understand what is involved in investing women and non-binary led, purpose-driven businesses that align with their values and target returns. Through the Women-Led Impact Investor Challenge, Spring facilitates a joint cohort of participants and impact ventures to navigate all aspects of the impact investment process. From market analysis and impact measurement to negotiation, we work through a detailed program, culminating in an optional opportunity to invest in the Top Company.

The Opportunity

We recognize that women and non-binary founders often build companies that address overlooked sectors of the economy that offer meaningful opportunities for change. They also face significant biases when raising funds, leaving them seriously lacking the capital to grow their companies and increase their impact. These companies create an opportunity to
bring values and capital together. Our Women-Led Impact Investor Challenge is here to help you
learn more about impact investing with women and non-binary led businesses.

What You Can Expect

Through the program, and beyond, you can expect to:

  • Learn what impact investing is and how it makes a difference
  • Develop and refine an impact investing thesis that resonates with your purpose
  • Create lifelong connections with a supportive, like-minded community
  • Learn what to look for in early-stage companies, including team dynamics, market analysis & more
  • Engage in the due diligence process, including negotiations and paperwork.
