About this event

Ownership shapes who builds wealth, who influences business decisions, and who benefits from the long-term value created by successful companies.

Yet women remain significantly underrepresented as investors, shareholders, entrepreneurs, and recipients of venture capital. 

Accelerating women’s ownership therefore requires more than encouraging women to save or start businesses. It requires greater financial knowledge, stronger networks, better access to investment opportunities, and more capital flowing toward women-led companies.

Feminvest is a leading Nordic hub for female entrepreneurs and investors. Through education, community, entrepreneurship programs, investment opportunities, and venture capital, Feminvest works to give more women the knowledge, confidence, networks, and capital needed to own more.

Join us for an exclusive Fireside Chat with Michaela Berglund, Founder and CEO of Feminvest and General Partner at Feminvest Ventures.

In this fireside chat, we will explore:

  • Why is ownership such an important part of economic equality?
  • What prevents more women from becoming active investors and company owners?
  • How can women move from saving money to building long-term wealth through investing?
  • What role can entrepreneurship play in accelerating women’s ownership?
  • What does Feminvest Ventures look for when investing in women-led startups?
  • What makes an early-stage company attractive and investable?
  • How can women founders build stronger relationships with investors?
  • Why does so little venture capital continue to reach women-led companies?
  • How can investor communities, corporates, and public institutions help close the ownership and funding gaps?
  • What has Michaela learned from building a community, a company, and a venture capital platform around one shared mission?

The conversation will connect the different sides of ownership, from investing in public and private companies to building, funding, and scaling businesses.

We will also discuss how financial education, founder support, access to capital, and trusted communities can reinforce one another. Feminvest’s ecosystem reflects this combined approach, bringing together investor education, entrepreneur networks, and venture funding to support women at different stages of their financial and entrepreneurial journeys.

Who should attend: Entrepreneurs, aspiring founders, angel investors, venture capital professionals, professionals interested in beginning or expanding their investment journeys, corporate leaders, finance professionals, ecosystem builders, policymakers, and anyone interested in entrepreneurship, investing, financial empowerment, and the future of women’s ownership.

The session will be moderated by Naimul Abd, Regional Director Nordics at Startup Grind, CEO at Connect East, CEO at SweBAN, Founder of Nutty Ventures, and Regional Director Nordics for Founder Institute and Founders Live.
