Infinityy was among the companies highlighted at the InnovateHer Investor Summit in San Francisco on March 31, 2026, as covered by SFGate. Representing Infinityy at the event, CEO Lisa Nickerson joined a gathering organized by Prospera Alpha Ventures that brought together women founders, venture capitalists, and industry leaders to address the gender gap in startup funding.
A Gathering Built Around Access
Prospera Alpha Ventures, a Silicon Valley-based fund and nonprofit investing in early-stage startups founded by women, organized the summit to connect female entrepreneurs directly with investors actively looking to back them. According to SFGate, 22 investors attended the event, alongside startup founders and industry leaders from major tech organizations. The discussion also included voices tied to companies across Asia and Europe, reinforcing that the funding gap for women founders is a global issue.
In 2024, only 2% of venture capital invested in Silicon Valley startups went to companies with all-female founding teams, according to Founders Forum Group. The article also notes that about 12% of startups in Silicon Valley and San Francisco in 2025 were founded by women, citing the Silicon Valley Institute for Regional Studies. As speakers at the summit emphasized, this is not a talent problem. It is an access problem.
Infinityy on the Summit Stage
As part of the event, eight women-founded startups participated in a pitch competition before a panel of Silicon Valley investors. SFGate identified Infinityy among the AI-based companies in the room, describing the platform as one that uses an AI assistant to help connect real estate agents and buyers.
Infinityy’s presence at the summit placed the company among a group of women-founded startups engaging directly with investors around innovation, access, and growth.
A Conversation That Needs to Keep Happening
What made the InnovateHer Investor Summit notable was not only who attended, but what the event represented. Throughout the day, speakers pointed to the same challenge: women founders continue to face greater barriers to funding and fewer opportunities to build the networks that often lead to investment. SFGate also reported that speakers stressed the importance of visible role models to help encourage more women to enter entrepreneurship and investing.
For Infinityy, participation in this kind of event reflects the importance of building in public, showing up in the right rooms, and contributing to a broader conversation about who gets funded and who gets seen.
What Comes Next
Events like InnovateHer help create the connections that can lead to future capital, partnerships, and momentum. Infinityy is proud to be part of that conversation and to stand alongside leaders working to expand access and opportunity in technology and entrepreneurship.
