Catherine Gray: The Powerhouse Behind She Angel Investors, Empowering Women to Fund & Flourish

Women entrepreneurs face a well-documented challenge—they receive less than 2% of venture capital funding. This glaring disparity is not due to a lack of talent, ambition, or game-changing ideas but rather a system that has historically overlooked and underfunded women-led businesses. Catherine Gray is on a mission to change that.

As the Founder of She Angel Investors, Catherine has dedicated her career to connecting women with funding resources, championing female entrepreneurs, and inspiring more women to become angel investors. Through her work as a producer, author, TEDx speaker, and host of the Invest in Her podcast, she is not just breaking down barriers—she’s building pathways for women to fund and flourish.

Bridging the Investment Gap

At the heart of She Angel Investors is a multimedia platform designed to provide women with funding opportunities and guidance. Catherine understands that representation in investing matters—when women control more capital, they invest in businesses that drive social and economic change.

Her commitment to this cause extends beyond She Angel Investors. She is also the co-founder of the non-profit She Angels Foundation, which provides grants to female-founded initiatives that uplift women. Her work ensures that more women gain access to capital and mentorship, two critical factors in entrepreneurial success.

Encouraging Women to Become Investors

Catherine isn’t just advocating for women entrepreneurs to receive funding—she’s also encouraging women to become investors themselves. She believes that one of the most effective ways to close the gender investment gap is by having more women in the decision-making rooms where funding choices are made.

As an angel investor herself, Catherine has put her money where her mission is. She has invested in multiple women-led businesses and is an active member of Wealthing VC Investment Club and Gaingels, two organizations focused on diversity and innovation in venture capital. Her influence extends far beyond financial backing—she provides strategic mentorship and visibility to businesses often overlooked by traditional investors.

Her Work Inspires Louisville’s International Women’s Day Screening of Show Her the Money

Catherine’s work and advocacy have inspired Woman-Owned Wallet and The B Scene to bring her mission to life in Louisville with a special screening of Show Her the Money on March 8th, International Women’s Day, at 6:30 PM.

While Catherine won’t be at the event, her dedication to funding women and closing the gender investment gap has been instrumental in making this screening happen. By working closely with WOW and The B Scene, she is helping ensure that more people in Louisville and beyond understand the power of investing in women.

This powerful documentary highlights the massive funding gap women entrepreneurs face and introduces the female investors who are working to change the game. The event will take place on Louisville’s biggest screen, with the stunning city skyline as the backdrop, making for an unforgettable evening of inspiration and action.

The screening is a community-driven event, co-hosted by Woman-Owned Wallet and The B Scene, and presented by Republic Bank. Gold sponsors Racing Louisville FC and Baldwin Wealth Partners are also supporting the event, reinforcing their commitment to empowering women and investing in their success.

Investing in Women = Strengthening Communities

Catherine’s work isn’t just about individual success—it’s about systemic change. Studies show that when women receive funding, they reinvest up to 90% of their income back into their communities, supporting education, healthcare, local businesses, and future generations. By championing female entrepreneurs and fostering a network of women investors, Catherine is driving long-term economic impact.

The Future of Women in Venture Capital

Through She Angel Investors, She Angels Foundation, and the Invest in Her podcast, Catherine is shaping the future of women in business and venture capital. Her message is clear: it’s time to shift the narrative. Women don’t need to wait for a seat at the table—they can build their own.

For any woman looking to secure funding, become an investor, or support women-led businesses, Catherine Gray’s work serves as both a roadmap and a rallying cry. The future of investing is female, and the time to act is now.
