Closing the Financial Gender Gap with Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen of Female Invest

In this episode of Humans of Fintech, host Nicole Casperson sits down with Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen, Co-Founder of Female Invest, for an inspiring conversation about financial empowerment, global community-building, and what it takes to challenge a male-dominated industry from the ground up.

What began as a frustration with the lack of women in finance events has since become a movement. Since 2019, Female Invest has reached more than 90,000 members in over 120 countries—offering tools, education, and support to help women invest with confidence. With endorsements from icons like Emma Watson and Hillary Clinton, the platform is making massive waves in the financial education space.

Anna shares the story behind launching Female Invest, the early challenges of convincing others that women do want to talk about money, and the moments that proved the mission was working. She also opens up about how intentional community-building became their superpower.

If you care about inclusion, financial literacy, or what it looks like to build a mission-first company that lasts, this episode is a must-listen.
