Columbia Women's Alliance of Venture & Equity (CWAVE)

Columbia Women's Alliance of Venture & Equity (CWAVE) is a US-based student organization dedicated to empowering young women to enter the venture capital and private equity industries. The alliance provides practical tools, networking opportunities, and skill-building workshops, including panels with experienced female VCs and portfolio evaluation training, to help women succeed in these male-dominated fields.

Our main goal is simple: to provide young women with tools to empower them to enter in to the male dominated world of venture capital and private equity. From hosting panels with seasoned female VC's, to workshops on how to evaluate a potential client's portfolio, we help women cultivate the skills they'll need to navigate the industry.
