Why Vested Impact exists
We exist to help professional women become investors. Not someday, but now.
Because when more women know how to invest, everything shifts.
Who gets funded? Who builds generational wealth? Which problems get solved?
For decades, the system treated women as dependents, not decision makers.
Today you run teams, budgets, negotiations, classrooms, wards and projects. You already know how value gets created.
But the numbers are still off.
Less than 0.5 per cent of venture capital in Australia goes to women founders
Women retire with less superannuation.
Banks still treat women as the “risk”.
The RSU email lands. The forms are confusing. The tax implications feel risky.
So the default kicks in. “I do not do that; my partner handles it.”
You create value. Someone else decides where the upside flows.
Vested Impact exists to change who gets to invest and who gets funded.
The wealth gap no one talks about
Professional women in Australia are running multinational divisions, leading ASX-listed companies, managing billion-dollar portfolios and scaling startups from zero to exit.
You know how to evaluate risk, spot talent and make calls with incomplete information.
And yet.
Only around one in ten angel investors in Australia is a woman.
Less than 0.5 per cent of VC funding goes to women founders.
On paper, many of us qualify as “sophisticated investors”. In reality, we are sitting on cash, unexercised options and quiet doubts.
Here is the uncomfortable truth.
You are already doing the hard part.
You need the infrastructure.
What we believe
We are not here to “fix” women. We are here to fix the gap.
Women do not lack the judgment to invest; we lack the infrastructure.
Money conversations should be honest, plain English and free of shame.
Impact and returns are not enemies; they are allies.
The system has quietly closed doors; we are opening them.
What changes when women invest
This is about more than personal wealth.
When professional women with real-world operating experience become investors.
Capital flows to different founders.
Values-based decisions become the standard, not the exception.
Different problems get funded: eg, healthcare, caregiving, education, and climate.
Impact becomes part of the default investment thesis, not an afterthought.
The next generation sees what is possible.
One woman directing capital is easy to ignore.
A collective of women directing capital is not.
