C’est si bon! Women ROCKED IT at the 2024 Olympics in Paris this month. For the first time in Olympic history, equal numbers of men and women athletes competed. And we shone in so many fields, from gymnastics to track & field to swimming to fencing, wrestling, basketball — and more. In fact, American women did so well in this Olympics that, if they were their own nation, they would have taken third place behind China and the U.S. Crushed it!

We are a transformative organization invested in the advancement of women’s leadership, now and in the future.
About us
Lincoln Road Enterprises (LRE) is a transformative organization. We’re invested in creating a better world for everyone. We think that starts by recognizing, valuing, and (most of all) using the innate gifts women bring to leadership. Our vision is a future in which women are at the forefront of business, global supply chain, engineering and technology, infrastructure and design, and space and astrophysics. We think we can make that happen by supporting new talent, improving systems, and encouraging bold ideas. We think it must happen now because we can’t address all the issues humanity must if we ignore half of what humanity has to offer. Women matter. We’ve always had the capacities—the heart and intellect—to take on big challenges and ask tough questions. And, as daughters, sisters, mothers and partners, we’ve always cared deeply about making the world better. It’s who we are and what we do. And now, it’s time.
