ABOUT ABOUT

Wharton Social Impact Initiative and Suzanne Biegel present an invitation-only convening for investors and advisors who are moving capital with a gender lens.

Who’s invited?

Individual high net worth investors, foundations, family offices, fund managers and their advisers, and those deploying (or on the verge of deploying) capital with a gender lens. Men and women. Individual and institutional.

Why attend?

Explore the role of evidence in gender lens investing, while grounding big picture insights from the gender lens ecosystem in actionable learnings.

Hear the latest from Project Rose and Project Sage – scans of public equity vehicles and private equity/VC/debt vehicles with a gender lens.
