Description

A small group of women are already acting as the motive LPs behind many of the most compelling women-led funds—writing early checks, signaling conviction, and helping build funds, often without recognition or compensation.

In this session, Jennifer Kim will moderate a conversation with Arani Kajenthira and Margot Kane, both very experienced LPs in excellent women-led funds, to make that invisible role visible. What signals do the leaders trust? And what do they actually need from other LPs?

For investors who say they want to back women-led funds, this is a practical guide to recognizing leadership—and learning how to join in effectively.
