Congrats Jessica Kamada ！
📣 Announcing Swizzle Ventures $6.6M Fund I to advance women's health & wealth through pivotal life stages. We believe women should be building equal wealth over their lifetime. The reasons they don't are systemic; pivotal life stages take women out of the wealth building game, underpinned by 3 key sectors we invest in: 🏥 Womens Health: $1T economic opportunity to improve care experiences for women. 👵 Caregiving: Solutions to manage complexities in caring for children and elders. 20% of the US population will be elders by 2030. 💰 Financial Health: Future of financial equity, wealth building and financial security across generations. Women will inherit $35T in the great wealth transfer. As a growth operator & investor, I see the world through the eyes of the customer and invest through a growth lens. Female customers deserve better. And who better to build the next $1B businesses than founders with lived experience who know their customers and their problems better than anyone else? Women will be building these companies. We are actively investing in pre-seed & seed stage. Founders - please get in touch. We're excited to meet you! I'm thrilled to officially come out of stealth today and share what I've been building over the last year. As a growth marketer by trade, keeping the lid on our work has been tough 🤐. Visit our website at https://www.swizzle.vc/ Thank you to Taylor Soper & GeekWire for sharing our story! Thank you my amazing team of advisors: Ashley Lieser, Sandra Andrews Arike Ogunbowale and Decile Capital To our founders: Thank you for partnering with us! We're pumped to be on your cap table & help you grow. Eve Halimi Anam Lakhani Emma Bates Lily Walla Estelle Giraud, PhD Emma Sugerman Sumit Nagpal Noel Pugh Michelle Winterfield Julie B. Kennedy Irene Liu Lalit Janak To our LPs: You showed me that this community we've built is more powerful than I imagined. You pushed us to raise DOUBLE what we originally set out to and I can't wait to keep building with you. And thank you to my amazing partner in life, Ken Kamada. Founding this firm has been a family affair with 2 young kids. You have taken on way more than 50% and I'm forever grateful. ❤️ LFG 📈 https://lnkd.in/g5s9aBMr #venturecapital #newfirm #womenshealth #investing
