The Women Abundance Collective recently hosted a networking event at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel in Los Angeles, which drew in approximately 200 attendees. The event was geared towards high-net-worth female investors and aimed to introduce participants to the sports asset class while also highlighting investment opportunities within women’s sports.
Neha Kumar, a partner at WAC, spoke about the important role that women can play in shaping the future of women’s sports through investment in female-led ventures. Kara Nortman, co-founder of Angel City and managing partner at Monarch Collective, shared her experiences with women’s sports investing and emphasized the growth potential within the industry.
A panel discussion followed, featuring prominent figures such as AMI GALANI, Gabby Reece, Carol Stiff, and Kate Veronneau. The panel focused on progress made in women’s sports, storytelling around female athletes, and the bright future ahead for women’s teams and leagues.
The event attracted a mix of individuals, from those seeking an introduction to the sports business to industry insiders including Leonard Armato, Jay Adya, Erin Storck, Assia Grazioli-Venier, Tobin Heath, Stuart McLean, and Jenna Trabulus. With a strong focus on female empowerment and investment in women’s sports, the Women Abundance Collective event provided a platform for discussions and connections within the industry.
