Investing for Impact: Connecting Leading Women Entrepreneurs and the Investors Who Fund Them

Tuesday, Oct 6 – Wednesday, Oct 7, 2026

The Women’s Capital Summit returns to New York City on October 6–7, 2026—and it is designed to be the place where entrepreneurs and capital providers meet, align, and activate capital across every stage of the business lifecycle.

This is not just another convening. It is where capital moves.

Over two high-impact days, the Summit will bring together a curated group of 150 investors and 150 high-growth women entrepreneurs—creating a powerful, balanced ecosystem intentionally designed to drive real outcomes. From early-stage funding to growth equity, debt, and exit strategies, the Summit connects founders to the right capital, at the right time, with the right partners.

At its core, the Women’s Capital Summit is about building capital pathways—not just conversations.

Entrepreneurs will engage directly with investors, financial institutions, and strategic advisors to refine their capital strategies, explore diverse funding options, and unlock new opportunities for scale. Capital providers will gain access to a strong pipeline of vetted, high-potential companies while contributing to a more dynamic and inclusive investment landscape.

LOCATION: Wells Fargo Connections
150 East 42nd Street, Concourse Level, New York, NY 10017

COST: $749
