Access to Investments

Women in Cloud partners with MastersFund Partners. MastersFund Partners are women who have invested in tech startups for 10+ years, with 4 exits and $475 million in generated revenue. Their superpower is connecting and attracting well-versed partners, all experienced entrepreneurs and investors.

“Forty percent of our portfolio companies are Women in Cloud alumni. Women in Cloud is, by far, our most powerful referral source for excellent companies that are ready for funding.” – Gillian Muessig, Managing Director 

MastersFund Partners uses gender lens investing to bring additional, valuable information to the investment decision. Gender lens investing is the deliberate integration of gender analysis into investment analysis and decision making. Such intentional investing is not only about funding women, but about looking at deals with an understanding of gender bias in ideas and processes. When we are aware of our bias, we make better investment decisions.

  • What is my level of commitment?
    It depends on how you choose to invest your time, energy, capital, and network.
    We’ve seen founders engage in many ways as ambassadors, amplifiers, partners, investors, sponsors, and volunteers.
    To get the most value, we recommend aligning your business’s go-to-market (GTM) strategy with Women in Cloud’s GTM efforts. This alignment helps you accelerate both your growth and your visibility, turning participation into real opportunity.
  • What does colaunch GTM mean? And how do I activate my business?
    Colaunch GTM = Co-executed Go-To-Market with partners to accelerate distribution, credibility, and revenue. Translation in plain language: Instead of launching alone… You launch WITH:

      • Hyperscalers (Microsoft, AWS, Google)
      • Strategic partners (EY, Accenture, etc.)
      • Ecosystem platforms (marketplaces, communities)
      • Influencers or industry leaders

    In simple: GTM gets you to market. Colaunch GTM gets the market to you.
    You gain shared visibility, distribution, and coordinated promotion.

  • How can I get more involved?
    Raise your hand and let us know what you can contribute—whether it’s your time, expertise, capital, or network. Based on your strengths, we will suggest meaningful ways for you to engage and create impact.
    You can also consider these two pathways:

    • Become an Annual Community Membership Partner. This unlocks a wide range of benefits and connects you to a strategic network. Learn more at:https://womenincloud.com/wicxpartners/
    • Build your talent pipeline: Participate in programs like the Frontier Workforce Cohort or the Confidence Circle to develop and access future-ready talent.
  • How are we showcasing business offers?
    We are building an “Offer of the Week” platform to feature and promote your business offers to a targeted global audience.
    What it is: A curated spotlight that highlights selected offers each week across our ecosystem.
    Why it matters: The goal is to generate real demand by increasing visibility, driving qualified leads, and connecting your offer to customers, partners, and buyers who are ready to engage.
  • What is a masterclass? What topics can I learn, and how can I deliver one?
    What it is: A masterclass is a high-impact, expert-led session designed to provide practical insights, proven frameworks, and actionable strategies you can apply immediately to grow your business or career.
    What you can learn: Masterclasses focus on key areas such as:

    • Leadership (executive presence, decision-making, influence)
    • Wellness (sustainable performance, resilience, executive health)
    • AI Readiness (adoption, strategy, implementation)
    • Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategy (offers, positioning, demand generation)
    • Scaling (partnerships, marketplaces, revenue growth)

These sessions are led by experienced operators, investors, and ecosystem leaders.

         How to participate: You can join as a learner to gain insights and access, or as a contributor by sharing your expertise.
         What it takes to deliver a masterclass:

    • A clear, outcome-driven topic aligned to one of the focus areas
    • Proven experience, frameworks, or case studies
    • A practical, actionable session that delivers real value to the audience
  • What is the AI State of the Business Report for the Founder?
    AI State of Women Founders Report (Global) = A data-driven, forward-looking benchmark that measures how women founders across the world are building, adopting, and monetizing AI and whether they have real access to capital, customers, and scale infrastructure.
    The core question this report answers: “Are women founders participating in the trillion-dollar AI economy or being left out of it?”
  • How will I get access to warm introductions to investors?
    Introductions are facilitated through curated events and partner networks only when you show up and contribute to each other.
    Access is based on mutual alignment, readiness, and participation.
  • Why are we collecting this data?
    We collect data to ensure we can deliver real economic outcomes, not just visibility. Each data point helps us:

    • Match you with the right opportunities — customers, partners, and investors aligned to your solution
    • Design targeted programs — so you receive relevant support based on your stage and goals
    • Measure impact — to track outcomes such as deals, partnerships, and growth across the ecosystem
    • Improve access systems — by identifying gaps and continuously refining how opportunities are distributed
    • We are intentional about collecting only what is needed to create value, enable access, and drive measurable results. Your data is handled with care and used to support your growth and strengthen the ecosystem, not for unrelated purposes.
  • How can I partner with hyperscalers?
    We have partnered with Ntegral to make the SPARK program accessible for women founders. Through this program, you gain access to hyperscaler partnerships via structured readiness, onboarding, and co-launch go-to-market (GTM) opportunities with hyperscalers and communities. Partnership opportunities are aligned to your solution, stage of scale, and overall readiness.
  • How many forms do I need to fill out?
    There are three forms in total, each designed to unlock different opportunities:

    • #FoundHerWorld Spotlight – to showcase your story and increase visibility
    • GTM Offer Form – to promote your business offer and generate demand
    • AI Research Form – to contribute insights to the AI State of the Industry report
    • Completing all three ensures you are fully positioned for visibility, access, and growth within the ecosystem.
  • Is there a WhatsApp group for collaboration?
    Yes, we have curated communication channels available for participants.
    Access is provided upon acceptance into the campaign.

    Support that unlocks access and accelerates growth is prioritized.
