Sisters Female Founders & Funders Breakfast

Sisters Female Founders invites you to a high-level breakfast gathering in San Francisco to pull back the curtain on private wealth, institutional capital, and asset allocation strategy. This event brings together the entire ecosystem—institutional investors, family office leaders, venture capitalists, and high-growth female founders—to discuss how capital is deployed and who gets to write the checks. Rather than looking at the funding landscape from just one angle, our panel features a collaborative dynamic between founders and funders. Together, we will examine the actual frequency of direct investments into female-founded companies, map out systemic allocation trends, and address the critical gap in gender diversity among the decision-makers managing these private and institutional asset classes. Key Discussion Pillars: The Decision-Making Bench: Where do women stand today as decision-makers and managing directors inside family offices and institutional funds, and how does shifting the check-writer demographic directly impact funding outcomes?Founders & Funders Dialectics: Candid perspectives from family office principals and venture capitalists on their direct-investment criteria alongside veteran female founders who have successfully unlocked private wealth capital.Institutional Allocation Strategies: A deep dive into how institutional asset allocators manage risk, direct investments, and track diversity mandates in a shifting macroeconomic environment. Whether you are an institutional check-writer, a venture partner shaping a portfolio, or an elite founder seeking your next strategic capital partner, this breakfast offers a rare, collaborative forum to foster trust, build transparency, and drive capital equity.
