Great things happen when you pull a room together full of 15 bada$$ women to talk about wealth creation and health for themselves and for future generations. 💫 Yesterday, BOLDER Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on mental, physical and financial wellbeing, convened a dinner to discuss financial health, wealth creation, and how each of us came to learn about money. 💰 Things that were consistent across a wide array of women of different ages, career stages and backgrounds were that: 🔸Money wasn’t robustly talked about either as they grew up or currently in their own homes; 🔸Having a seat around the table was key to participation in those opportunities; and 🔸As women, we need to share investment ideas and opportunities with one another because we can all win. Every attendee walked away with new ideas of how to talk about finances with their loved ones, how they can think about it for themselves and with new friendships. 🔥 Mission accomplished ⭐️ I know I say this a lot, but financial health is health and if you don’t have it, it’s only a matter of time until your mental and physical health suffer, too, so take care of you! 🙏 #investing #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness Bank of America KeyBank Impressia Bank M&T Bank

I really can’t believe this day has come. Announcing the launch of PEERLESS, a $1M pitch competition focused on supporting visionary Latine, Black, Native American and Female founders of early-stage companies. One of the major reasons I joined AlleyCorp was to support underrepresented founders, who too often lack access to elite VC networks and face systemic barriers when raising capital. I'm well aware that a pitch competition alone can't close the gap that persists through each stage of growth for underrepresented founders. But I believe that more access to substantial funding at the earliest stages is a start to creating a more diverse tech ecosystem. One that unlocks MASSIVE innovation opportunities. One that drives wealth creation for founders and funders. In partnership with Management Leadership for Tomorrow, with this competition, we hope to highlight exceptional founders and use our capital, networks and expertise to scale their startups for maximum impact. Alongside support from a network of incredible supporters from the startup ecosystem that include Amazon Web Services (AWS) for startups, Harlem Capital, BBG Ventures, VamosVentures, Human Ventures, New York City Economic Development Corporation, and Tech:NYC, the grand prize winner will receive a $1M investment along with talent recruitment support as they scale, ongoing mentorship and coaching, access to industry networking events, and membership to @Tech:NYC. If you’re a Latine, Black, Native American or Female early-stage founder that has not raised more than $1M to date, we’d love to hear your idea. Apply now.
