Women Who Count

The Language of Money, the Culture of Investing, and Community

With Women Who Count, our goal is to inspire women leaders who wish to leverage their experience and influence with money to turn their passions into results that make a difference.Women have a much different relationship with money than do men, often failing to fulfill our true potential.We provide the informational tools, resources and connections necessary to direct money into your beliefs without compromising your need for meaningful returns.

There is an entire language of money, opportunities and ideas rarely discussed with women or among women. Extensive research shows that despite enormous gains in education and in the work force, women still do not pursue financial and development opportunities in same ways as do men. Our goal is to provide connections and resources to uncover your own power with money to deliver transformative outcomes.

Women – Investors, Entrepreneurs and Transformational Philanthropists

We believe there is an entire language of money, business opportunities and ideas rarely discussed with women or among women. Trend reports demonstrate that more women are participating in philanthropic initiatives as a means to make their mark on the professional, business and social landscape.

The number of women angel investors rose from 11 percent in 2011 to 22 percent in 2012, according to a report analyzing angel investment trends over the past year.
Data shows that women are rising faster in angel investing because it’s a long-term, relational process in which the investor plays a role in the development of the company, as opposed to venture capital, which is more transactional. More than ever before, women are leveraging their checkbooks as a key tool to get involved and fund causes and companies that matter, thereby giving voice to initiatives they’re passionate about.

Additionally, a half-dozen studies have been published in the last two years, revealing that women generally donate more, are more actively involved in the given charities, demand more proof of effectiveness and prefer somewhat different causes than men.
