What women have to say
"I invested in venture because there are products and services that aren’t making it to the market because a small group of people didn’t deem them worthy. I want to support the underestimated and fund trailblazing ideas that the world would not otherwise see."
Andrea Henderson
Partner, DHR Global
10,000 women invest
$1B in women founders
The New Table is a movement to inspire 10,000 women to change the status quo and invest in venture capital. We’re done waiting for a seat at the table, we’re building The New Table.
Women who join The New Table gain access to events, community, educational resources, and the first of its kind Values-Based Investing Tool. With this tool, investors can find and sort women-led VC firms based on specific values, minimum investment amounts, investment stages, or industry sectors.
Taking a seat at The New Table makes venture investing accessible for women leaders to support women founders and drive the innovations of the future that benefit us all.
Elizabeth Faust, Fund II LP
"I believe in the mission. I am a mother, wife, board member, and investor. Supporting women has been a life-long passion. I volunteer with, give to, and mentor women. Until I learned about the New Table and became a limited partner in How Women Invest, I did not understand or appreciate the power of women investing in women. Venture capital seemed out of my reach and beyond my skills.
Neither is true. I am contributing not only via funds, but with my knowledge as we evaluate companies. I have a front row seat as empowering women changes the world.
