Women entrepreneurs are reshaping industries. From their ability to drive innovation to increasing representation in key deal-making roles, women are opening doors and creating lasting impact. In her recent article for Forbes, C200 Member and 2024 Luminary Awardee Alexandra Lebenthal explains why investing in women is a smart choice. Here are some key points: ✔️ Women Are Breaking Barriers Despite receiving just 7% of venture capital, women entrepreneurs are driving economic growth. The potential for women-led businesses is undeniable. ✔️ The Shift Toward Inclusivity in Investment Private equity firms are recognizing that women-led companies can outperform their male-led counterparts. Investors are now prioritizing these businesses as they mature and scale. ✔️ Confidence and Network Are Key to Success Women entrepreneurs must own their value and build strong networks to thrive. Confidence in their worth and connecting with others can unlock funding and growth opportunities.

“I think it’s a great time to be a woman in business. When there’s a lot of uncertainty, there’s also huge opportunity. People like people who take risks and start new things, people who will step up, step out, speak up, and provide inspiration and leadership.” - Judith M. von Seldeneck | C200 member since 1999 Although the research about women business leaders from this year has shown stagnating progress with warning signs of going backwards, the opportunity to make a huge impact has never been greater OR more important to seize. With many organizations to donate to this holiday season, please consider making C200 one of them. With fewer organizations investing in the future of women business leaders, your support will make a huge difference in our mission to inspire, educate, support, and advance current and future women entrepreneurs and corporate, profit-center leaders.

Working women, especially our leaders, are feeling lonely - and we must do a better job of listening to what they need. Despite women occupying a record number of leadership positions in business, we are still far from total parity - and these women feel incredibly alone, leading to career and personal dissatisfaction. While men become less lonely as they advance in their careers, women become lonelier and MORE isolated. We must rethink the way we support women in the workplace and the advancement of their careers, because it's clear that what has traditionally worked for men isn't working for women. That's what we're doing here at C200. Our sisterhood of businesswomen connect with one another and build networks on THEIR terms. Through our events, educational programming, and Advancing Women Programs, we provide the space for women in business to find and create what they need to advance, succeed, and thrive - both professionally and personally. Altogether, C200's beautiful community has been growing and thriving for over 40 years, transforming what it means to lead in the business world. This holiday season of giving, help us change the face of business, one woman at a time, with a donation to our organization and cause. With your financial support, we can continue to provide the priceless experiences that have shaped our membership and wider community for decades.

"I am so aware of the women who came before me, whose efforts began clearing a path for other women to executive leadership, board, and other positions of power. We have an obligation to keep those efforts going - sponsoring, mentoring, and referring the outstanding pool of female leaders around us – and have fun doing so." - Susan McLaughlin | C200 Member since 2000 Here at C200, this is what our motto, Success Shared, is all about! Every single day, we are breaking down barriers for women in business so that they can connect, learn, and build the networks they need to advance, succeed, and thrive in their careers. Building support systems for women in the business landscape has never been more important, and this is what C200 has provided to our members and wider community of businesswomen over the course of our 40+ year history. This holiday season of giving, help us keep our legacy going by making a donation to our mission and the future of women leadership worldwide: https://hubs.la/Q02-Wx7Q0 #SuccessShared #WomenInBusiness #WhyC200

"Something I wish I did throughout my career was take better care of and actually make time for myself. We had no one to tell us that back then; now, I just want to tell everyone! It’s my job now to make the next generation’s lives better." - Ana Dutra | C200 member since 2013 Many of our trailblazing members were the first women leaders in their fields, and that achievement did not come without incredible personal sacrifices. However, the next generation of women leaders don't have to struggle to the top like so many women did before them. Our members are passionate about making the climb to the top much easier for the next woman. While our members have so much influence in the business landscape, we all know that we are more powerful when we all come together. That's why C200 is asking you to support our mission to advance all women in business. A small donation can make a big difference in our ability to continue providing priceless experiences to our members and Advancing Women Program participants.

The truth is, women are feeling lonely at work. According to a 2023 survey by TheLi.st, 70% of women feel unsupported at work, and 51% go as far to say they feel isolated. You'd think that this feeling would decrease as women rise the ranks in their career, but the opposite is true. Meanwhile, it's men who feel less lonely as they advance in their careers. So, while a woman may blaze some trails, rise to the top of her industry as a leader, and find professional success, it's likely that she's feeling entirely alone through it all. Lots of businesswomen relate to the adage, "It's lonely at the top," but here at C200, we're proving it doesn't have to be. We're more than just a network for the most powerful businesswomen in the world. We break down barriers of isolation for women in business by creating communities, programming, and other resources specifically catered to the unique needs of professional women. In our spaces, you'll find yourself among successful businesswomen dedicated to supporting one another and the next generation of women leaders.
