SUMMARY:Judge: SBA hosts InnovateHER
DESCRIPTION:True Wealth Ventures MBA fellow Ashley Hemphill judges the InnovateHER 2017 challenge in Austin\, Texas.  \nWomen are in the workforce now more than ever\, a number that is close to surpassing that of men. Gender equality is not simply about getting a woman a spot at the metaphorical table. Women have made great strides in education\, the workforce\, and their role in the economy\, but there are still not enough women in leadership positions. \nSBA recognizes that over the past two decades\, women entrepreneurs have been critical to growing businesses and creating jobs\, whether it’s in in cutting-edge fields like precision medicine or cybersecurity or through advances in agriculture or manufacturing.  Consider this: the number of women venture capital partners has dropped to 6 percent in 2014\, down from 10 percent in 1999. This directly correlated with women’s access to capital; only about 7 percent of venture capital funding in the United States goes to women. A Harvard Business School study asked potential investors to rate a series of pitches\, some of which were narrated by women and some by men. Even when the scripts were exactly the same\, only 32 percent of people said they’d fund the woman\, compared to 68 percent who said they would fund the man. \nThe InnovateHER Challenge\nThe InnovateHER Challenge celebrated its inaugural year in 2015. The InnovateHER Challenge2016 included a local pitch competition component. From August 2015 through December 2015\, universities\, accelerators\, SBA Resource Partners\, Microsoft stores and other organizations hosted local competitions. Each host submitted one local winner to the SBA\, who then identified 10 Finalists. These finalists were invited to travel to the Washington D.C. metro area on March 17\, 2016 for a live pitch competition and compete for up to $70\,000 in prize money. \nInnovateHER provides an opportunity for entrepreneurs throughout the U.S. to showcase products and services that have a measurable impact on the lives of women and families (30%)\, have the potential for commercialization (40%)\, and fill a need in the marketplace (30%). \nOver the course of the 2016 InnovateHER Challenge\, over 248 organizations registered to host local competitions. Businesses in 49 of 50 states\, plus Puerto Rico and American Samoa were represented. There were 194 local competitions held in which winning business plans were submitted to SBA for evaluation. Over the course of four months\, over 3\,000 entrepreneurs were engaged in local competitions. \nPrevious Winners\nThe six 2015 and 2016 InnovateHER Challenge winners displayed amazing talent and potential for commercialization: \n2015 InnovateHER Challenge Winners \n\nFirst place ($15\,000) was awarded to Bethany Edwards of LIA Diagnostics\, who designed an eco-friendly\, discreet pregnancy test that is easy to use and understand. Edwards and her team are based in Philadelphia\, PA.\nSecond place ($10\,000) was awarded to Lisa Crites\, creator of The Shower Shirt. The Shower Shirt is a post-surgical\, water-resistant garment designed to prevent post-surgical mastectomy and other chest surgery drain sites from coming into contact with water while showering. Crites is based in Cocoa Beach\, FL.\nThird place ($5\,000) was awarded to Sophia Berman of Trusst Lingerie\, who developed effective and attractive products aimed at eliminating the pain and discomforts experienced by the underserved U.S. market of larger busted women. Berman is based in Pittsburgh\, PA.\n\n2016 InnovateHER Challenge Winners \n\nFirst place ($40\,000) was awarded to Elizabeth Caven\, creator of UpCraft Club. UpCraft Club is a website for digital sewing patterns. Caven is based in Des Moines\, Iowa.\nSecond place ($20\,000) was awarded to Dawn Dickson\, who has created Flat Out of Heels – durable roll-out ballet flat-type shoes that provide an option for heel-wearing ladies on the go. Dickson is based in Miami Beach\, FL.\nThird place ($10\,000) went to Dr. Agnes Scoville for her product Pacidose\, a device which makes it easier to give medicine to infants and young children. Dr. Scoville is located in St. Louis\, MO.

SUMMARY:Panelist/Speaker: SXSW 2017 Panel : "Beyond the Bottom Line"
DESCRIPTION: SXSW 2017 panel “Beyond the Bottom Line”\n\nTrue Wealth Ventures Founding General Partner Dr. Sara Brand speaks on SXSW 2017 panel “Beyond the Bottom Line: Setting a New Bar for VC.” She speaks along with venture capitalist and Founding General Parter of Rethink Impact Jenny Abramson\,  CEO of Austin Community Foundation Mike Nellis and psychologist and Co-Founder of the Tingari-Silverton Foundation Dr. Pam Ryan.\n\n\nImpact investing was once thought of a ‘softer’ kind of investing – sacrificing monetary returns for the sake of non-monetary ones. But\, recent research shows sustainable equity funds meet or exceed the returns of traditional funds. In the last decade we have seen a surge of popularity in impact investing. Although true impact investing can only be done in the private markets\, we have not seen the same increase in VC vs. public offerings. Seeking answers on how to increase impact investment opportunities in VC and start-ups\, this session brings together a venture capitalist\, large bank\, non-profit foundation and a psychologist studied in how investors and VC’s make decisions.\n\nFull details of the event here.

SUMMARY:Speakers: San Antonio Startup Week
DESCRIPTION:True Wealth Ventures Founding General Partner Dr. Sara Brand and General Partner Kerry Rupp speak at two San Antonio Startup Week events for women entrepreneurs and women investors; “Outperformance and Opportunities: Women Investors and Women Entrepreneurs” at 8:00 -9:30 am\, and “Empowering Entrepreneuring Women” at 1:30-2:30 pm. \nSee full event details of the two events below: \n  \n“Outperformance and Opportunities: Women Investors and Women Entrepreneurs”  \nHosted by the San Antonio Angel Network\, Dr. Sara Brand and Kerry Rupp speak to the advantages of gender-lens investments\, and the benefits of gender diversity. They examine the aspects of gender diversity from both sides of the equation; as women investors and women entrepreneurs. \nWomen Investors: While only 4% of venture capital partners are women\, women VC’s are 2x as likely to invest in a company with women founders\, and 3x more likely to invest in a woman CEO.  Women venture capitalists investing in women-led companies show better financial returns. Specifically\, women-led companies have a 32% greater chance of annual exit when funded by a woman investor\, according to a recent study in the Harvard Business Review. \nWomen Entrepreneurs: When women are on the management team of companies\, whether they’re public companies or venture-backed startups\, the companies perform significantly better financially.  In fact\, a Kaufmann Foundation study showed that venture-backed companies with a woman CEO showed 35% higher ROI and 12% higher revenue growth\, while using 1/3 of the capital.  Yet\, despite this outperformance\, fewer than 3% of companies funded by venture capitalists have a woman CEO. That’s a missed opportunity! \nEvent Location: Paramour 102 9th St. San Antonio\, TX 78215 \nEmpowering Entrepreneuring Women \n\nA Kaufmann Foundation study showed that venture-backed companies with a woman CEO showed 35% higher ROI and 12% higher revenue growth\, while using 1/3 of the capital. The prolific early stage VC firm First Round Capital found that their companies with a female founder performed 63% better than investments with all-male founding teams. Come join a discussion about ways emerging businesses can increase gender diversity to improve financial performance and increase innovation by empowering women entrepreneurs. This discussion will be led by True Wealth Ventures General Partners\, Sara Brand\, Ph.D.\, and Kerry Rupp.\n\nEvent location: RealCo Office in Geekdom 8th Floor\, 110 E Houston St\, San Antonio\, TX 78215
