For too long, women have been told to “save” rather than “invest.” To play it safe rather than go for the win. And it’s not because we’re not capable—it’s because we haven’t always been invited into the conversation. But that stops here.

This table will break down the barriers that have kept us from building wealth, explore why investing often feels out of reach, and discuss approachable ways to get started with investing.

Whether you’re new to investing or looking to expand your knowledge, this is a safe, judgment-free space to ask questions, share experiences, and learn together.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to rewrite your own financial story in a fun, relaxed, and encouraging setting. Reserve your spot and join us for an unforgettable afternoon of connection, inspiration, and wealth-building!

I began my career at Morgan Stanley before transitioning into Venture Capital, where I led early-stage investments. During my time in VC, I realized that women-led companies—particularly in the Middle East—were not receiving the attention or funding they deserved. This inspired me to launch Anqa Ventures, an advisory firm dedicated to helping women-led businesses across MENA secure funding and support. Building on this mission, I also founded Waad Women Investing, an investment circle designed to challenge the stigma around women and investing. Through financial education and investment opportunities, we aim to empower more women to take charge of their financial futures and actively participate in the investment landscape. I would love to host a dinner to get more women to open up about why they are hesitant to invest within a safety, community space so that we can work towards combating these hesitances and allow women to create wealth for themselves and their families through investment income.
