Creating the Women's Capital Connection

Women’s Capital Connection (WCC) is a regional network of accredited angel investors dedicated to identifying and funding the most promising start-up business opportunities in the region.

The Women’s Capital Connection officially launched in January 2008 with 33 founding investors committed to investing in women-led ventures in the Midwest. Since 2008, over 125 women investors have been involved in supporting angel investing and over 2,000 women-led ventures have inquired about angel funding, with 157 companies moving forward for investor presentations. To date, 25 companies have received funding, with over $5 million dollars contributed to the region.
