Jump In: Women Investing in Women, Growing Our Capital and Impact - Paperback

by Kristina Montague (Author)

Invest in the change you want to see in the world.

Why did a band of women in a small corner of Southeast Tennessee take huge risks in their careers and jump into the uncharted territory of the startup world? What did they do to convince other women in their community to join their quest to address the gap table for female founders? And how did Chattanooga become a leader in the rising tide of women growing their impact in startup ecosystems across the U.S. and beyond? Jump In charts the story of the JumpFund, a women-led angel fund investing through a gender lens, based in Chattanooga, TN, and its powerful network of women investing in women.

A groundswell of women are discovering the power and purpose of angel investing. Women are reshaping the conversation in startup investing not only to open doors for other women and more diverse founders but also to consider a wider lens of companies solving problems that matter to women.

Learn from women who have put their resources to work to increase access to capital for other women. Gain a better understanding of Gender Lens Investing and the women behind this important movement. Discover the basics of how to get started as an angel investor, and how to seed your own group of women investing in women. Join the new wave of women investing in the change they want to see in the world. Jump in!
