At the 'Tech for Impact Summit 2026,' leaders from MPower Partners, NTT, and Cinnamon AI discussed the 'Women Building the Future' session. Research reveals female founders receive only 2% of VC funding yet deliver 1.5x higher IPO returns. MPower's Miwa Seki called this 'market mispricing' and introduced the W-Power Fund. Miku Hirano emphasized how AI allows for 'solo-preneurship' without early-stage funding. The summit highlighted structural shifts in corporate boards and government policy toward gender parity.
