Funding for women entrepreneurs, sorely lacking—local investors network.
Women entrepreneurs are underserved of investment opportunities, according to the latest Gender Lens Investing Series—The Bottom Line: Why Investing in Women is Good Business—of the Manila Angel Investors Network , the country’s premier private investors network.
“Women account for half the suppliers, customers, and talent-pool. Investing in women is not only good for business, but it is the right thing to do,” Julia Abad, executive director of the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment, said. In the current fiscal year, MAIN has invested 50 percent of its allotted capital to women-led startups. In the coming years, the network is seeking to invest more than half of their startup investment portfolio to women entrepreneurs.
