Two ways corporates can support women entrepreneurs!

 

  • Women founders currently face serious challenges in accessing venture capital and this lack of investment in women means many opportunities are being missed.
  • 2 main ideas emerged from our research: improve opportunities for women entrepreneurs via non-financial investment; grow the pipeline of women with skills to serve on investment teams.

SAP, in collaboration with efino, McKinsey & Co. and PwC Germany, has developed an actionable idea to reduce the opportunity gap for women entrepreneurs.

Corporate venture capital (CVC) teams are responsible for 24% of all venture capital investment, accelerating hundreds of startups a year. Yet CVC teams are potentially missing out on investment opportunities by not doing more to actively seek out and support women entrepreneurs with bankable projects. Most conversations about improving diversity in venture capital focus on generic steps that any investor could take – such as adopting standardized interview questionnaires, scorecards and metrics – rather than on corporates specifically.
