How can individuals play a more active role in funding women’s health? In this practical follow-up to our October webinar, we explore what it means to invest in early-stage companies and how private capital can contribute to both innovation and impact.
Together with Impact Invest and NORA, VILDA invites you to Part 2 of our series on funding women’s health – a small, interactive workshop for members who are active investors, considering becoming investors, or building companies and want to better understand the investor perspective.
When? Monday, November 9, 08:30–10:00
Where? AngelHouse, Jakobsbergsgatan 27, Stockholm
Event details
Following our October webinar on where the funding gaps in women’s health exist and who provides funding today, this session turns the conversation into something more practical: what can you do as an individual?
We will explore what it means to become a business angel, how private investment funds work and how individuals can contribute capital to early-stage companies. Using examples from Impact Invest’s health portfolio, Ruth Brännvall and Anna Sane will share how investment opportunities have been assessed and how selected companies have developed over time – considering both financial outcomes and impact.
The workshop will also touch on investor do’s and don’ts, including common mistakes when investing in very early-stage companies and why many early investments do not generate a financial return.
The format is designed to be interactive, with room for questions, discussion and shared experiences among participants.
Speakers
- Ruth Brännvall, Founder and General Partner, Impact Invest
- Anna Sane, Portfolio Manager, Impact Invest, and Co-founder of NORA
