Kerry Rupp will be speaking on The Value of Investing in Women at the 2020 Northwest Arkansas Tech Summit on Wednesday 21st at 2:15 pm CT.

You may have heard the dismal statistic that less than 3% of venture capital funding is going to women-led companies – still, despite the attention paid to the issue in recent years. But did you also know that when there are more women in senior leadership in startups that they outperform financially? And that when women investors invest in women entrepreneurs, the companies are more likely to have successful exits? Venture capital fund True Wealth Ventures leverages that data as part of its investment thesis, investing exclusively in women-led companies.

In this session, hear from True Wealth Ventures General Partner Kerry Rupp about the benefits of women investing in women, and meet the CEO of two of the fund’s portfolio companies. Jean Anne Booth, CEO/Founder of UnaliWear, is building smart watches for seniors that have been called the “wearable OnStar for seniors”. Lada Rasochova, CEO/Founder of Dermala, is delivering personalized skin care solutions leveraging the human microbiome, data analytics, and behavioral science. Both companies are delivering solutions to mostly women decision-makers, markets where True Wealth Ventures believes women entrepreneurs will have an additional advantage, via their insights into the customer.
