Correcting the Record: Yes, Women Want to Form Their Own Private Equity Firms – Part II
November 17, 2020
On November 17, Winston & Strawn hosted part II of an informative webinar series where women GPs provided insights and lessons learned in launching and running their own private equity firms. In addition, LPs discussed key considerations for making an investment in a first-time fund or successor fund.
This series was sparked by a Forbes article that claimed women do not want to form their own PE firms because of the gender pay gap.
Topics Included:
- How to successfully raise a first-time fund
- Importance of showing a track record and prior experience
- Building a network
- Promoting diversity and inclusion
Speakers:
- Lori Cashman, Managing Partner, Victress Capital
- Jennifer Cho Rinehart, Partner and CEO, Acalyx Advisors
- Morgan Holzaepfel, Partner, Primary Investments, Adams Street Partners
- Julie Klaff, Partner, Origami Capital Partners
- Arlene Shaw, Managing Director, Brightwood Capital
