Member Eligibility

Women in Funds is a private community with a mission to support and educate women in private funds. Our mission helps members excel in their careers. By becoming a member, all members agree to follow our Terms of Membership, as well as agree to the below consents and confirm that they are eligible to join.

​

1. Individuals who currently hold a primary, full-time role at a manager of a Private Fund(s) (as defined below) are eligible to join as Private Funds Members (Full Access or Leader) (“Qualifying Member”). The individual must have access to an active email account at the manager or be listed on the manager’s website as a current employee in order to confirm eligibility.

2. Prospective members acknowledge and agree that by purchasing a membership (Virtual, Event Access or Leader), they are Qualifying Members. 

3. “Private Funds” include any private pooled investment vehicle, such as hedge funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds, credit funds, real asset funds, crypto funds and family offices, but do not include mutual funds, banks, technology firms, law firms, outsourced executives, solo practitioners, wealth management firms, consultants, fund administrators, placement agents, finders/marketers, recruiters, vendors, private investment vehicles used for personal investing, or any company whose primary business is the practice of law or providing products or services to in-house lawyers or investment/financial professionals.

4. Eligibility will be determined at all times in the sole discretion of Women in Funds. Members acknowledge that Eligibility terms are subject to change at any time.

5. To remain in good standing as a Full Access or Leader Member, members must remain Qualifying Members. In the event a member leaves a role at a Private Fund and is no longer a Qualifying Member as a result of the departure, the member shall be permitted to remain a member for the remainder of their membership annual term.

6. In order to renew membership, such member must be a Qualifying Member at time of renewal. Members agree to inform Women in Funds if they no longer are Qualifying Members, including the date that this change occurred.  Members who are in-transition and are looking for another role that would make them a Qualifying Member may continue as  members until the earlier of 1 year or the acceptance of a job at a non-Private Fund.  Members who accept a non-qualifying role may be  removed from all communities (in the Women in Funds' sole discretion).

7.For those who are not Qualifying Members: For individuals who are not eligible to join as Private Funds member, there is an option to join as a Community Sponsor Member. We offer a limited number of these memberships per year. We also offer a sponsorship program for firms, which includes membership for employees.

8. Members agree that this community platform is a paid membership, research and continuing education club exclusively for Qualifying Members and paying sponsors.​
