1920 Vote Your Money Campaign

In 1920, women won the right to vote in America after years of battling inequality. But somehow, in today’s world, women are still not treated equally. In fact, women only receive 3% of all VC funding in the US. For every $100.00 a male entrepreneur receives, a female entrepreneur only receives $2.90! We’re saying enough is enough and changing the economic opportunity for women and money, because women deserve the right to equal access for funding.

The first step to becoming a leader in the DyMynd Angel initiative is joining the “1920 Vote Your Money” Campaign. Regardless of your investment experience, you can help shift the entrepreneurial ecosystem in a way that truly empowers Chicago’s entrepreneurial woman.

We invite you to be one of the 1,920 women we are challenging to contribute to the DyMynd Angel Fund and collectively underwrite 20 female led start-ups throughout Chicago and the Midwest.
