Women’s Capital Summit: A Turning Point for Women Entrepreneurs

The Women Business Collaborative (WBC) is proud to announce the Women’s Capital Summit, an event dedicated to bridging the investment gap for women entrepreneurs. Slated for October 6-7, 2026, in New York City, the summit aims to transform casual conversations about capital into meaningful relationships and tangible investments. This carefully curated gathering will bring together a diverse group of women entrepreneurs, investors, corporate leaders, athletes, and philanthropists, all committed to reshaping the capital landscape.

Build Connections That Matter

In an era where women entrepreneurs often face challenges in securing funding, the Women’s Capital Summit provides a unique platform for connecting with individuals who have the potential to make impactful investments. This event is not merely a networking opportunity; it is a dynamic space where founders can engage directly with those capable of writing checks, and individuals can discover businesses ready for investment. Here, influential women will learn how to navigate ownership and investment, and in turn, redefine the capital system.

A Diverse Program of Industry Leaders

The summit will feature a lineup of prominent figures from high-growth operations and billion-dollar companies. Notable voices will include Merrilee Kick, Founder and CEO of BuzzBallz, alongside founders and investors who have successfully scaled businesses and achieved significant exits. Discussions will cover critical topics, including:

• - Ownership vs. Influence: How influential women can leverage their platforms for long-term wealth and ownership.
• - Matching Founders with Investors: Insight into what investors seek and how founders can cultivate effective capital relationships.
• - Building Sustainable Value: Lessons from established women business leaders on scaling businesses and investing back into future ventures.
• - Innovative Investment Solutions: Exploring pathways beyond traditional venture capital, including venture debt and private credit.
• - Opportunistic Ventures in Women’s Sports: Understanding the burgeoning market of women’s sports and its potential for attracting investment.

Target Audience and Purpose

The summit targets women who are actively seeking to raise capital, as well as those interested in becoming angel investors or strategic partners. With a manageable audience of 150 investors and 150 women entrepreneurs, this intimate setting offers opportunities for candid discussions and connections that larger conferences often lack.

Gwen Young, CEO of the Women Business Collaborative, emphasizes the need for women to not just be included in these conversations, but to actively shape them. “Capital moves through relationships,” she states, highlighting the summit's goal to empower women through access to knowledge, partnerships, and investment opportunities.
