Aequitas Invest Launches to Support Women-Led Startups

Aequitas Invest, founded by Molly Huyck and Amie Konwinski, is a new crowdfunding platform designed to support women-led startups. The platform allows businesses that are at least 50% women-owned to raise capital through Regulation Crowdfunding, enabling everyday investors to participate. Aequitas aims to address the funding gap faced by female entrepreneurs, who receive only a small fraction of venture capital despite strong returns. By offering a more founder-friendly fee structure and personalized support, Aequitas provides an alternative to traditional venture capital, helping women retain more equity and control over their businesses.
