Breaking Barriers with Data-Backed Opportunities | THE BILLION DOLLAR BREW™ (Paris Edition)

In November 2024, Beyond The Billion hosted The Billion Dollar Brew (Paris Edition), our signature convening, in partnership with Dell Technologies. This event united trailblazing LPs, GPs, and founders to drive meaningful conversations on fueling investments in female-founded companies and accelerating women-led innovation globally. France’s venture ecosystem reflects both strides and ongoing hurdles in achieving gender equity. In 2023, women-founded startups in France secured an impressive €1.7 billion across 276 deals. While in Europe women-led VCs grew by 76%, raising €4.4 billion, female founders in Europe still received only 1.8% of total VC capital last year. Investing in women-led businesses is simply a high-return opportunity. Data shows that women-led companies consistently deliver strong performance, with several achieving unicorn status. Yet, traditional VC biases often exclude female founders. By breaking these biases and implementing targeted strategies—such as direct access to Investment Committees and hiring experienced female founders as partners—investors can unlock untapped potential. - We at Beyond The Billion extend our deepest gratitude to our partners — Dell Technologies, and our incredible Ecosystem Champions: Businettes, European Women in VC, Global Invest Her, Startup Nation Central, and Techstars Sustainability Paris. The journey doesn’t stop here. Follow us as we continue to champion women-led innovation and catalyze capital for female founders worldwide. Together, we’re creating a future where diversity drives greater impact and returns. Read the full recap here: https://beyondthebillion.com/the-bill...
