They Saw Women Shut Out Of VC, So A PayPal Veteran And Former Navy Officer Built An Alternative

Aequitas Invest, co-founded by Molly Huyck and Amie Konwinski, has launched a funding portal aimed at providing women-led businesses with better access to capital. This initiative comes in response to the observed exclusion of women from venture capital opportunities, highlighting the need for alternative funding solutions for female entrepreneurs.

The establishment of Aequitas Invest signifies a proactive step towards addressing gender disparities in funding, empowering women entrepreneurs to raise and retain more equity, which could lead to greater innovation and economic growth in the sector.
