Fierce Foundry
Technology, Information and Internet
Our Femtech Venture Studio builds female-founded startups from idea to exit to impact the future of funding for women.
About us
Our mission is to reduce and equalize the global deficit in funding for women by creating investability for founders from idea to exit. Our co-founder-based studio will provide founders with initial seed investment, all resources for product and business development, support for later-stage fundraising and everything needed in exit. By standing with founders from start to finish in a model that statistically performs better than traditional venture or accelerator programs, we have a better chance at making our mission a reality - and a blueprint for others to follow.

I joined Fox 5 NY to chat about what this drop in the stock market means for individual investors. The cliff notes version? This kind of drop is to be expected. While it’s easy to get caught up in the doom and gloom, the best investing strategies are typically to invest over a long period of time without worrying about what the stock market is going to do next. Don’t forget that for the last five years, the stock market is still up almost 80% despite Covid and despite a rocky economy in many ways. If you’re nervous about the stock market, one of my best suggestions is to learn more about how it works. Fear dies in the light.
