Investment thesis

SheBoot addresses the funding gap facing women entrepreneurs in technology by preparing them to pitch and secure investment. The program is designed and delivered by women investors and entrepreneurs for women founders, combining an interactive six-week bootcamp with weekly pitch practices, seven months of support from advisors, a coach and a ghost board, and a pitch competition where founders compete for equity-based investment from women angels. Its broader mission is to level the playing field for women founders and build a more equitable investment landscape, growing a diverse pipeline of women-led companies and driving long-term, inclusive economic change.
