UNDERSTANDING THE EXISTING FUNDING LANDSCAPE
FUNCTIONAL
-
Women-Led Tech Receives only 2% of venture funding, and is all but ignored by traditional funding platforms.
-
Less than 1/2 capital invested between 2009 - 2021 broke even.
-
Less than 20% achieved three-fold returns or higher.
-
4% generated 10X or greater multiple.
-
Existing inception/SEED stage funding platforms are stuck with antiquated investment strategies, not keeping pace with the increasingly dynamic and tech-driven global economy.
-
Predominantly conservative, risk averse, failing to consider a broad range of promising investments.
Ripple2Wave Improves these Factors
EMOTIONAL
"It is disheartening that existing biases slant away from Women-Led Tech towards familiar, narrowly defined male oriented founders and industries. Through Ripple2Wave we can be a catalyst for much needed change."
SOCIETAL
-
Societal Impact is woven into the fabric of Ripple2Wave's ethos as an integral business and culture component.
-
Ripple2Wave's commitment to be a Catalyst Shift Change for Women-Led Tech as a societal impact is a performance driver and differentiator for Ripple2Wave.
Ripple2Wave Alternate Approach
Investments in technology as a driver of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) are steadily increasing and coinciding with Ripple2Wave's identified need to support an emphasis on Women-Led Tech.
