A new generation of women entrepreneurs is redefining philanthropy by investing in, mentoring, and financially supporting fellow female founders rather than waiting until later in their careers to give back. Leaders including Equinox co-founder Lavinia Errico, Muse Capital’s Rachel Springate, and Koala Eco’s Jessica Bragdon are championing innovative funding models and purpose-driven businesses to expand opportunities for women, who received just 1% of venture capital funding in 2025 despite their growing economic influence.
