Presented by

The event on a mission to close the funding gap for women founders

April 20, 2027 • The Fig House • Los Angeles

Fund Her Vision is a one-day conference about grants, lending, angel investment, venture capital, acquisitions, and what women need to know when money is on the table.

Grant funding

Traditional lending

Angel investing

venture capital

exit planning

mergers & acquisitions

Today, you’re building a successful business.

We want to help you build a company or portfolio that creates serious financial leverage for tomorrow.

Because once you’ve created success, the question becomes what you want that success to create next.

Maybe you want to scale the company you have, acquire the one that accelerates where you’re going, invest in other founders, build a portfolio, or position your business for an eventual exit.

There are more ways to create wealth through entrepreneurship than simply growing revenue year after year.

Fund Her Vision is about getting more women into the conversations around leveraging capital, so you can see the possibilities, understand funding dynamics, and decide what you want your success to build for you.

Designed so your bank account matches your ambition.

We want to see more women receiving the checks. On the cap tables. Winning the grants. Negotiating the term sheets. Buying the businesses. Selling the companies. Making the investments. Receiving higher valuations. In short… making bank.

Closing the funding gap isn’t only about getting more money into the hands of impactful women. (Although… obvi, it’s definitely about that, too.)

It’s about more women owning assets, controlling capital, participating in deals, and building the kind of wealth that gives her even more capacity to make her mark.

That’s the room we’re building at Fund Her Vision.

Here’s what to expect…

Get closer to the people behind the capital, deals, and decisions that build wealth.

Fund Her Vision puts founders, funders, investors, buyers, and sellers on the same stage, so you can hear thoughtful perspectives from both sides of the table.

The Anatomy of Investment Capital

Inside Angel and Venture Funding

Founders and funders on what makes a business investable, what makes a raise work, and the realities of bringing outside investors onto your cap table.

Money Without Strings

Grants and Lending Without Giving Up Equity

Hear from both the women securing non-dilutive capital and the people providing it, with candid conversation around grants, lending, and putting that money to work.

From Acquisition to Exit

The Deals Behind Buying and Selling Businesses

Buyers, sellers, and the people behind the transactions get into acquisitions, exits, and what really goes into getting a deal across the finish line.

Built for Value

The Drivers Behind Enterprise Value

A conversation about what makes companies more valuable, what can quietly erode that value, and the factors investors, buyers, and dealmakers pay attention to.

“Dove Tank” Live Pitches

Apply to Pitch for Live Feedback from Funders

Attendees can apply for the opportunity to pitch their business live and get real-time feedback from the people who evaluate opportunities every day. Think Shark Tank, but the feminine and sophisticated version.

Fireside Chats

Big Moves, Told by the Women Who Made Them

Go beyond the highlight reel with women who have built serious businesses, made significant deals, deployed capital, and created wealth on their own terms.

Who’s in the room?

Who Fund Her Vision is Right For

The Capital-Curious Founder

She’s built something that works and she’s ready to consider what capital could make possible and now she’s exploring different ways to fund her next stage of growth.

The Future Buyer

She’s intrigued by buying a business rather than building every next chapter from scratch. She wants acquisition to become a real option in her ownership playbook.

The Wealth Builder

She wants her success to create wealth beyond the income generated by her current business. She’s thinking about assets, investments, and ownership as part of the bigger picture.

The Emerging Investor

She can see herself moving to the other side of the table and writing the check. She’s curious about investing her own capital into founders and companies she believes in.

The Exit-Minded Founder

She may not be selling anytime soon, but she wants that option available in the future. She’s interested in building a company someone would genuinely want to acquire.

The Deal-Curious Entrepreneur

She’s not pursuing one specific transaction, but she knows bigger financial opportunities are on her horizon. She wants greater exposure to deals before she’s sitting across the table from one.

The Seasoned Operator

She’s built enough experience to know there’s rarely one right way to structure the next move. She’s interested in seeing how other successful women are approaching capital, ownership, and opportunity.

The Strategic Dealmaker

She’s already comfortable buying, selling, investing, or structuring opportunities beyond her core business. She’s interested in the relationships, perspectives, and deal flow that can shape what she does next.

The Active Funder

She’s already writing checks and building an investment portfolio alongside her business interests. She wants exposure to more founders, opportunities, and perspectives that can sharpen how she deploys capital.

Upgrade to the VIP Experience

The conversations get bigger at The Capital Table.

Fund Her Vision VIPs are invited to stay after the conference for a private cocktail hour followed by The Capital Table, an intimate dinner with a curated mix of founders and funders (think: investors, angels, grant makers, lenders, and dealmakers) participating in the event.

The dinner gives you more time with the people you’ve spent the day hearing from, in a much smaller setting where the conversation can be more candid, specific, and relevant to what everyone around the table is actually working on.

Whether you’re raising, investing, acquiring, preparing for an exit, or simply interested in being part of more sophisticated conversations around money and ownership, this is where we bring those perspectives together over dinner.

What’s included with your VIP ticket…

VIP Cocktail Hour

The Capital Table

Take your seat at our private funder + founder dinner created specifically for Fund Her Vision VIPs.
