You’ve got resources. You’ve got smarts. You’ve got dreams.
But when it comes to money and investing… you’ve got questions.

What if you could discover answers in a community of women like you?

You can.

Come join a select group of dynamic women who strive to take charge of their money and use their resources for good. Women with Capital® is a supportive, pitch-free community.

If you would like to become more intentional about your money and would enjoy being part of a learning community with other socially progressive women, let’s talk. 

Taking charge of your money is life-changing.
Learning with others is inspiring and fun.

You will be learning from experts who have in-depth personal and professional experience tackling the very issues you are exploring.

In our series, we will have conversations about wealth, explore which values matter most to you and your family, and learn about the multitude of ways to invest with intention.

• You will have the tools and confidence to make intentional choices about your investments.

• You will know how to invest in alignment with your deepest values.

• You will be inspired by a trusted circle of women with similar goals.

We believe smart investments allow you to take care of your financial future and support the change you want to see in the world.

Women with Capital is a good fit for you if you want to:

• Amplify the good you are doing in the world using your personal and financial capital.

• Better understand how your money is being invested and feel more confident about directing it .

• Be part of a community of women where you can talk openly about wealth, get new ideas for high-impact investing and philanthropy, and receive unbiased advice and support from both instructors and members.

We believe that wealth can be used as a tool for transformative change in our families, communities and globally. For this reason, we seek out women who believe the status quo isn’t working and want to contribute to creating a more equitable and sustainable world.

The Women With Capital membership includes

Being a Women with Capital member means you are part of a community where smart, passionate, socially progressive women connect with and support each other in using our personal and financial capital for good.

Benefits:

• Signature Educational Series: In the six session series, you'll build a great foundation beginning with how you relate to wealth and then exploring the many ways you can have impact with your capital.  You'll learn from leading experts in the fields of psychology of wealth, impact investing, strategic philanthropy, and angel investing. The Series starts with a two-day intensive (see below).

• Two-Day Intensive: We will meet in person in the San Francisco Bay Area to kick off the Signature Educational Series. You’ll explore the psychology of wealth and learn about values-aligned investing from your expert instructors, and have fun getting to know each other and meet other Women with Capital members during a special dinner gathering.

• Complimentary access to Values Advisor, a curated collection of values-aligned financial advisors, suggested by peers in other high net worth networks. It is free to our members (otherwise, it is a $1,000 fee).

• Confidential Member Forum to ask others for personal recommendations, share successes and challenges.

• Membership in a powerful network of socially progressive women dedicated to making a difference.

When I first took over managing my family’s investments, I looked for resources to educate myself. I was apprehensive about taking charge of our money. I couldn’t find anywhere to ask questions without getting a sales pitch. I needed a source of unbiased information I could use to make decisions of my own, based on my family’s specific needs.

I feel strongly that we can and should have both the information and the support to make healthy financial decisions.

I’m excited to share my process of education and empowerment, and provide resources, inspiration and a community of like-minded women to learn with.

Are the meetings held in-person, online or a hybrid format?

The signature educational series begins with a Two-Day Intensive in-person in the San Francisco Bay Area. We will build on what you’ve learned, and the personal connections you have made, during the four follow-up online sessions of the signature series. This allows for women to participate from across the country and the world.

Who is this program designed for?

We are looking for a select group of women who want to take control of their money and use it to make a difference. Topics are tailored to the concerns of women with significant financial wealth and want to use it to make an equally significant impact in the world. We also welcome people who are preparing to come into wealth, whether it is through a liquidity event, inheritance or entering into a family of wealth among other circumstances.

Many women come to Women with Capital at a time of transition when they are in the position of taking charge of their own assets.

Each cohort has members whose capital comes from a variety of sources, and is not limited to any one type of wealth holders.

Is this program designed for any particular age group?

Topics are tailored to the concerns of women who have wealth or are preparing for a liquidity event or coming into an inheritance. This includes women of all ages. Members have ranged in age from 30 years old up to 75 years old. Each cohort is unique and based on women with similar concerns and interests regardless of age. People have found it invaluable to learn from members of different generations and have mentors in this journey.

What are the eligibility requirements?

We are looking for women who want to use their social and financial capital to make an outsized positive impact on the causes they care most about in the world. Members are engaged and engaging, committed to fully participating in the series, and protecting each other’s confidentiality to allow for the type of intimate conversations around wealth and purpose that most of us do not have in our usual social circles.

For details of financial eligibility to become a member, please reach out to us and we will share those details with you during our conversation. In the interest of privacy and safety, we do not share that information publicly.

What does it cost?

The first year of membership is $9,500 which includes the above benefits. We want to give you independent, objective information and do not pitch any products or services. We pay our instructors and speakers for sharing their expertise and time, which is reflected in our fee.

What makes Women with Capital a pitch-free zone?

Unlike other venues where speakers either pay for the opportunity to reach a desirable audience or expect to get business from the engagement, our speakers do not have the goal of securing your business. The instructors are paid for their time and expertise, which is reflected in our fees.

We maintain strict confidentiality and do not share or sell any data at all--ever.

Can I share this announcement with other women?

You are welcome to refer people to the program individually or in forums for socially progressive, philanthropic women. In this way, we seek to create a diverse and trusted community. We are looking for a select group of women who meet the participant eligibility and who want to take control of their money and use it to make a difference.
