Welcome to the New Table
As we kick off 2025, let’s take a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come and dream even bigger for the future. This is a time to celebrate the strides we’ve made and rally together to shape what’s next for women in venture and leadership.
10X Growth Strategies and How Women Lead are thrilled to invite you to the New Table event, a gathering where we not only recognize the progress we’ve made but also take bold steps toward changing the game for women in business and leadership.
Did you know?
Women now earn more degrees than ever, start 40% of businesses, and are expected to control $30 trillion in U.S. wealth by 2030.
Yet, only 1.9% of venture funding goes to women-led companies.
Women hold just 14% of corporate board seats.
Only 1.4% of wealth is managed by women or people of color combined.
It’s time to change this.
We’re bringing together some of the top women in venture to share strategies, spark conversations, and make commitments that can truly move the needle. Join us in partnership with Julie Castro Abrams, CEO of How Women Lead, as we build the New Table movement: 10,000 women investing in venture and driving real change.
