“AwakenHub continually challenges the status quo by recognising women founders' role in driving economic growth and job creation. Despite this, their businesses are often overlooked by government agencies, and women's underrepresentation in venture capital hinders securing seed investment. In 2020, we committed to changing this across Ireland.
As part of our mission, we have visited the US East Coast five times in the past year, harnessing our diaspora's investment potential for our founder community's benefit. SheVentures is pivotal for the all-island entrepreneurial and investment landscape, uniting our founder community, investors and stakeholders in person. We are grateful to our partners for supporting our transformative vision.”
Mary McKenna, Chair & Co-founder of the Awaken Group
