How Women-Led Initiatives Can Close the Gender Gap in Tech Entrepreneurship and Investment

Women-led initiatives reduce gender gaps in tech by funding female founders, building visible role models, reshaping networks, and creating inclusive investment pipelines that unlock talent traditionally overlooked by the startup ecosystem.

Building Capital Access for Female Founders

One of the most effective ways to close the gender gap is improving access to funding. Through Leia Capital, Sarah Huet actively invests in women-led startups, helping correct structural imbalances in venture capital allocation.

Creating Visibility and Role Models in Tech

Initiatives like A Female Agency amplify women’s voices in technology and entrepreneurship. Visibility matters: showcasing female founders and investors inspires ambition, normalizes leadership, and shifts industry perceptions.

Expanding Networks and Opportunities

Women-led platforms create trusted communities where founders, investors, and operators connect. These networks open doors to mentorship, partnerships, and capital that are often less accessible to women in traditional ecosystems.

Combining Entrepreneurship, Investment, and Advocacy
