AwakenHub & AwakenAngels Cofounder and CEO, Clare McGee will host a panel of women founders, investors and financial experts:

Cathy Brennan, Financial Planner, Winner - Financial Adviser of the Year (Scotland & Northern Ireland) 2024 by Professional Adviser's Women in Financial Advice Awards
We talk a lot about the lack of equity and navigating gender bias for women with only 2% of funding globally going to women founded companies and 7% of angel investors in Europe being women. AwakenHub & AwakenAngels are doing our best every day to address that.
The challenges and opportunities around women’s financial health extend beyond that of founder and/or investor. We often don’t know enough, talk about, plan or implement a cohesive strategy when it comes to securing our financial future and the future of women and girls who come behind us.
The 2024 Gender Pension Gap lies at 36%*, meaning that women would need to continue working for 8 more years than men to build up the same size pension pot. On the flip side, women are set to inherit 70% of global wealth over the next two generations, with projections that they will own 50% of wealth in Ireland by 2025.
As financial independence grows, more women are seeking knowledge, access and opportunity to enhance their wealth and achieve their financial goals as founders, investors industry leaders and professionals.
