-Black and Latinx entrepreneurs receive less than .5% of venture capital. - all women shrank to 2.1% in 2020 - Women in the U.S. own just $0.32 for every $1owned by a man and the disparities are even wider for women of color. - Women control or influence $12 Trillion of investible assets the in the U.S. - Worldwide women control 75% of consumer discretionary spending. - 80% of women's capital goes to their families and communities, compared to only 30% for men. YET - Women are typically passive investors. - Women are not building wealth at the rate of men. - Women give their money away - but only 7% of all philanthropic dollars go back to women and girls and 3% to women and girls of color. - Women of color fared worse with 0.2% of funding and Black women receiving .0006%.

We Are Enough (WAE) is launching a suite of programs to educate women at every economic level, countywide, on why and how to invest in women-led businesses and/or with a gender lens in the public markets. Our goal is to grow the generational wealth of women, particularly for underrepresented women of color. The United Nations has stated that increasing women's wealth has a greater impact on the Sustainable Development Goals than any single initiative. We are launching a significant global education program and awareness campaign - the "3.3.3 Challenge" - to inspire 3 million women over the next 3 years to invest $3B in women-led businesses and/or with a gender lens in the public markets (average investment of $1000, as per salon survey results below). No other group or fund has had this mission, target or potential. We see activating women around their economic power as the next step in women's empowerment. The #MeToo and #TimesUp movements are important but are reactions to men behaving badly. The 3.3.3 Challenge is proactive and about women embracing and seizing their power. Whether they have 25 cents, $25 or $25M, have a piggy bank or own a bank, we can educate and direct women on how they can invest in women... and change the world!

This is what happens when women understand that the path to changing the world is through women and their wallets. - Women make money. There's a return on investment that builds generational wealth. Women-led businesses typically outperform males in EVERY measure of profitability. - The money has impact. When more women entrepreneurs receive funding, adverse personnel issues dramatically improve. - The world gets better. Money is 1.17x more likely to go into social impact businesses while improving economic power of women. What happens when women invest their money with intention? Women gain real ROI. They build sustainable wealth and invest in women entrepreneurs creating a sustainable wealth cycle. - Women entrepreneurs get funding. Currently, women-led businesses receive only 3% of venture capital, 22% of angel funding and 4% of loans. For women of color it's worse. Yet women are starting businesses at 1.5x more than men and their businesses are more successful over time.
