Check out Amplifyher's investment, Tough Day, founded by former Salesforce CSO Katherine von Jan and Cornell Tech's Alberto Escarlate. Did you know that 45% of employees say that their workplace impacts their mental health? According to the Talent LMS 2024 Study, 43% of employees are taking PTO or sick days to get a break from toxic behavior at work and 45% of employees say that the despair of toxic culture drove them to quiet-quitting. Sticky situations in the workplace cost US businesses over $20B out-of-pocket annually, not including legal expenses and settlements. DM us if your team wants early access to try out Tough Day! https://tough.day/

Last night, Oova’s Founder & CEO, Aparna (Amy) Divaraniya, PhD was on a panel for the NY Tech Week event “The Future Is Female: Funding & Building from Early to Late Stage”. The panel, which included Amy, Ashlee Wisdom, MPH (Health In Her HUE), and Lori Hotz (Lobus), spoke about tips for navigating VC funding, finding investors who will champion your company, and building confidence as a founder. It was an inspiring and educational evening! #FiresideChat #Panel #FemTech #NYTechWeek

We had a blast teaming up with Fenwick & West and The Female Founder Collective on yesterday's TECH WEEK by a16z event. Amplifyher Ventures portfolio founders Deepica Mutyala and Nell Diamond shared their remarkable founder journeys with a room packed with awesome founders and funders. We're not always into bite-sized take-aways, because it often leaves out room for nuance, but here were a few high-level principles from our partner Meghan to keep in mind: 1. When should you raise institutional capital? When you *really* believe it's necessary to give up 20% of your company in order to do so. 2. Should you really "ask for advice" when you want an investment? Contrary to the age-old saying, no, not necessarily. Run a process, and own your process. Definitely build relationships and ask for advice along the way - especially with angel investors in your domain. Those relationships can turn into investments. But don't be afraid to run a process and be assertive about it. 3. What is product-market fit, really? It varies, of course; but here's one rule-of-thumb: If your customers are showing real engagement and organically spreading the word on your behalf, then you're on to something. Take the metrics you have at your disposal, and weave them into your story. (And let's set up a one-on-one chat if you want to dive into some benchmarks specific to your industry and stage.) Thanks to everyone who joined the convo!
