Female x Finance

You ask, we deliver: FxF Investment Series! 4 online trainings, 4 different topics, 4 investment experts! 💃 Women outperform men in investing, yet 65% of our community of (future) investors told us they haven’t started yet! 🤔 Investing isn’t just a “nice-to-have.” For women in finance, it’s a must-have. You can’t truly excel in finance without understanding the markets deeply; and the best way to do that? Invest in them. Whether you’re part of the 65% looking to start or the 33% already building your portfolio, investing is the key to success, leadership, and financial freedom. That’s why we created the Female x Finance Investment Series: to help you take that first step, grow your skills, and build wealth beyond the paycheck. It is time to lead in the markets, not just analyze them. #WealthBeyondWork #FemalexFinance #WomenWhoInvest

Our community asked for more transparency into how investments are made and more role models in the finance world. We listened. And we decided to start BIG! We’re organizing this event because we believe women deserve a seat at the table in every part of finance – from founding companies to investing in them. And it’s not just about making more money (though we’re all for that, too!). It’s about seeing how profit and purpose can work hand-in-hand to create meaningful change. That’s why we’re so excited to host this event with our partner, Rubio Impact Ventures one of the leading impact funds on the deal, to take you behind the scenes of one of the most groundbreaking deals of 2024: the €9.4 million investment into Female Invest. Why does this matter? 👉 Female-founded companies still receive less than 2% of all funding – a shocking statistic we want to change. 👉 Female Invest’s mission to close the gender investment gap isn’t just inspiring – it’s urgent. 👉 This deal proved that profit and purpose can drive each other forward. To guide us, we’ve invited Eline de Haan from Rubio, who worked on this deal, to share: how impact investors make decisions. Why Female Invest stood out & how profitability can amplify a company’s impact. This event isn’t just about the numbers: it’s about empowering you with knowledge, inspiration, and actionable insights. Because we believe the more women see what’s possible in finance, the more we’ll all move the needle forward. 📅 Join us on November 27 at 18:00 CET.

You can't be it if you can't see it 💡 Breaking into and thriving in private equity can be challenging, especially with little representation or role models to look up to. At Female x Finance, our mission is to break down those barriers and empower you to succeed in the finance world. This month, we're proud to have Caroline Vang Christensen, Investment Executive at CVC Capital Partners and a former Private Equity Analyst at Goldman Sachs, as our Role Model of this month. Caroline’s career is packed with lessons from breaking into top firms, such as FSN, Cinven, Goldman Sachs and ultimately CVC, making strategic career moves and taking bold decisions along the way. In this session, she’ll: ✨Walk us through how she navigated from Goldman Sachs to CVC and what pivotal career decisions shaped her path. 🧠Demystify private equity - what it is, why it matters, and how it's transforming. 💡Share actionable advice for women wanting to break into private equity and thrive by embracing their unique perspectives and strengths. Whether you're in finance, considering the leap, or just eager to learn about the role of private equity in shaping industries, this event is your chance to gain real insights from someone who’s done it, lived it, and owned it. 🗓 12 November 2024, online 🕕 18:00-19:00 🔗 Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eMYHjvjQ Join us for an empowering evening that could change how you see your potential in finance. Let's create a world where women lead and thrive, together. 💜✨

"You can't be it if you can't see it." 💜 Breaking into the world of finance isn’t always easy—especially when the spaces we enter don’t reflect who we are or how we feel. That’s why representation matters and why we LOVE hosting our monthly Role Model Events at Female x Finance. These events are all about showing what’s possible and celebrating women who embrace their true selves in an industry that often pushes for conformity. Take inspiration from Aweng Majidpour, who went from Investment Banking in London to becoming a Growth Equity investor. Yesterday, she shared her journey with us: ✨ "People warned me not to stand out. But I decided, 'I'll be who I am.' And it turns out, being different is actually my asset." ✨ "Nothing will be given to you. You need to fight for it yourself." ✨ "Being different isn’t a weakness—it's my strength, and I walk into rooms knowing that’s what sets me apart." At Female x Finance, we’re reimagining the finance world - because we still live in one designed by men for men. It’s time to challenge the norms, celebrate our diversity, and ensure that feminine leadership styles are recognized as essential for success. 🌟 Join us at our next event, and let’s create a world where we can see ourselves in the spaces we dream of. #FemaleXFinance #RoleModels #FinanceForWomen #RepresentationMatters #BreakTheNorms

3 things we learned from Marlot's keynote speech at the FxF Network Dinner ☁️ We gave the stage to female founders because, let’s face it, there are still more CEOs named “John” or “Dick” than women CEOs, and that’s just crazy. Women-owned businesses deserve the spotlight (and the funding 💰), and we’re here to give them the voice they deserve and change the game. We hope Marlot's story will inspire you to break through glass ceilings of the Finance world and make your own mark! 💃 She went from working in Private Equity to Venture Capital to eventually founding Maniac. She not only shared her story about going from being an investor to becoming a founder, but also gave us some advice on how to break through the glass ceiling in a male dominated field.
