We’re thrilled to welcome Jenny Nguyen, the trailblazing force behind The Sports Bra—the world's first bar dedicated exclusively to women's sports—as a Founding Member of Marble Collective. In 2018, Jenny and her friends faced a simple yet profound frustration: they couldn't find a single sports bar willing to show the NCAA women's basketball championship game. This moment ignited a vision in Jenny—where women's sports would be an afterthought and the main event. She dreamed of an inclusive space celebrating female athletes and creating a vibrant community of fans. Taking a courageous leap of faith, Jenny invested her life savings of $27,000 to bring The Sports Bra to life. Opening its doors in Portland, Oregon, in 2022, the bar quickly became a beacon for equality and inclusion, generating nearly $1 million in revenue within the first eight months. Her innovative concept caught the attention of Alexis Ohanian Sr., co-founder of Reddit, Inc. and husband of tennis legend Serena Williams. Impressed by Jenny's dedication to promoting women's sports, Ohanian discovered The Sports Bra through media coverage and social media buzz. Aligning with his advocacy for gender equity in sports, his venture capital firm, 776 Foundation, made a significant investment to help Jenny scale her vision and bring The Sports Bra to new cities across the globe. “We hope that by highlighting women's sports, we can show the world that there is a huge market and potential for investing in women athletes. We aim for more equitable outcomes for players, coaches, and staff in terms of pay, investment, and interest.” — Jenny Nguyen With over 15 years of experience as a chef in the male-dominated restaurant industry, Jenny's story exemplifies grit and the transformative power of community support. The Sports Bra is more than a bar—it’s a movement toward equity in sports and business. Join us inside Marble Collective to explore Jenny’s journey here and follow her path forward as she expands The Sports Bra to a city near you. Marble Collective is a digital platform inspired by the salons of the French Enlightenment—intellectual gatherings in the homes of prominent women. We are bringing this spirit of sharing ideas and information through storytelling and discussion while capturing and aplifying the legacies of remarkable women and inspiring a global audience.

When remarkable women come together, anything can be accomplished. We are so proud to be entering the world at this time in history, and committed to building a better way forward. Grateful for this incredible group of women who commenced our capital raise as we prepare for our launch. #community #womenintech #womenleaders #venturecapital #angelinvestor #AI #artificialintelligence #media
Absolutely thrilled to share a momentous milestone in the journey of Marble Collective, one that exemplifies our mission, potential, and the extraordinary power of remarkable women leaders coming together to elevate one another. On #InternationalWomensDay, March 8th, 2023, we launched the BETA of Marble Collective. Our goal was to build the foundation of a platform designed to connect, amplify, and create a dynamic network among remarkable women. Fast forward a little over a year, and we are 2,500+ Founding Members, Advisors, Applicants, Audiences, and subscribers strong. We've forged partnerships with over 10 platforms and exclusive communities of high-powered women, laying the foundation for our next phase: our official launch. As we approach an election that could potentially see the first female president in history and enter "The Great Wealth Transfer," where McKinsey & Company predicts women will control 2/3rds of US wealth by 2030, our timing feels impeccable. To celebrate the launch of our capital raise, we hosted our first Salon Dinner at the private residence of two of our Advisors, Robert Reffkin - the first black founder to be on the Fortune 500 List who was raised by a single white Jewish mother and deeply understands what it feels like to be the “only” in the room, his amazing wife Benís R. Reffkin and co-author of No One Succeeds Alone for an unforgettable evening of storytelling and connection, a culinary experience sponsored by "The Financial Feminist" Alli McCartney of UBS, and a carefully curated table of Advisors, Investors, Ambassadors, Founding Members, and their guests - influential women who have achieved incredible impact. The evening embodied the immense potential of our vision at Marble Collective: leaning into storytelling, enhancing connectivity and information-sharing with AI, elevating exposure, and providing access to remarkable women. #AngelInvestors, who are interested in investing in the future for #womenleaders, please DM me.

We are thrilled and honored to welcome Dr. Jen Welter, the legendary NFL coach, two-time Gold medalist, and champion of diversity and inclusion, as a Founding Member of Marble Collective. Dr. Welter made history as the 1st woman to coach in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals and broke barriers as the first female to play running back in a men's professional football league with the Texas Revolution. Her pioneering journey continued as she coached the Australian Women's National Football Team and authored "Play Big: Lessons in Living Limitless from the First Woman to Coach in the NFL." She recently graced the cover of Know Magazine presented by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The "100 Women to KNOW In America Award," celebrates influential, accomplished, and honorable women across our society. The selection process is rigorous and selective, considering factors like professional achievements, leadership qualities, and community impact. Nominees undergo interviews that gauge their passion, resilience, and commitment to excellence. “I never ever imagined that I could coach football, because there was no one who looked like me. Football was the first place in the world where somebody told me that girls and boys did different things. I distinctly remember being told girls don't do that.” - Dr. Jen Welter Her messages on Authentic Leadership and Diversity as Strength have resonated at prestigious venues such as the the United State of Women (USOW), Central Mass Conference for Women, and MGM Grand. Her engaging presentations, filled with humor and firsthand insights, leave a lasting impact on audiences worldwide. Dr. Welter founded "A Day in the Life" to empower and equalize women in professional football. Held annually in Las Vegas alongside the Super Bowl, this event, by women for women, harnesses their energy and enthusiasm for football. It offers a unique opportunity to step onto the field and immerse themselves in the game. With women making up 47% of the National Football League (NFL) fan base, this platform has evolved into a movement celebrating their dedication and passion for sports. Dr. Jen Welter leads Grrrridiron Girls flag football camps, showcasing her commitment to inspiring young women. She has partnered with Toya to create the Minecraft series "Coach Jen," further engaging girls in sports through innovative digital experiences. Her collaboration with adidas amplifies her mission to build confidence and leadership skills in girls through sports. Join us in celebrating Dr. Jen Welter's incredible contributions to sports and her unwavering dedication to driving inclusivity and excellence both on and off the field. Discover more about her remarkable journey and ongoing mission with Marble Collective. 🔗 Explore Dr. Jen Welter's journey here and get plugged into her path forward inside Marble Collective: https://lnkd.in/exwThhTW #womenssports #womenleaders #womenled #nfl #football #legend #marblecollective

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We are deeply honored to welcome Princess Alia Al-Senussi - a pivotal figure in global art and culture, as a Marble Collective Founding Member. Born to a Libyan royal father and a Minnesota mother and growing up between multicultural households in Egypt and the American Midwest, with an adolescence split between the US and Europe, Alia's unique upbringing as a “third culture kid” sparked her passion for cultural diplomacy. Her journey from the pyramids of Cairo to the prestigious halls of Brown University and The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) shaped her into a cultural bridge-builder. Alia's academic prowess is highlighted by her impressive educational background, culminating in a PhD from SOAS University of London, where she explored the intersections of politics, culture, and patronage in contemporary art. A true luminary in the art world, beginning with transformative projects like the Siwa Project in Egypt, Alia has since served in key roles, including as Art Basel's UK and MENA Representative and Senior Advisor to the وزارة الثقافة Ministry of Culture in Saudi Arabia, utilizing art as a powerful tool for social change and international dialogue. “I’m not an avid art collector in the way that others might be described as avid collectors, but things that are meaningful to me are things that I want to live with. I am the person who collects and curates experiences for everyone.” - Princess Alia Al-Senussi Through her extensive work with leading cultural institutions and her active participation in art and cultural diplomacy, Alia embodies the spirit of global connectivity and cultural enrichment. She believes in the art world ecosystem, taking various roles with nonprofits and serving on countless committees and boards such as with the Tate , ICA London, K11, the Guggenheim Museum and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

We hope to see Jenny Just, Lisa Pickell, Desiree Gruber, and Poker Power inside Marble Collective - so the the world can explore their journey's here, and get plugged into their personal media libraries alongside other remarkable women - for inspiration, learning, and insights. https://lnkd.in/e8nKJysc #femalefounded #womenleaders #pokerpower #marblecollective
Jenny Just is a self-made billionaire and the visionary behind Poker Power. Her journey began on the options trading floor, where she honed her skills in risk assessment and decision-making. But it was her passion for the art of poker that led her to create something truly transformative women and young girls. In 2020, Jenny co-founded Poker Power alongside her daughter, Juliette Hulsizer. When she noticed that all of her boys played poker, but her daughter did not, she asked herself..."WHY?!" What started as a simple experiment—gathering Juliette’s friends and moms for poker lessons—turned into a movement. When Jenny realized that poker could empower women by building their confidence, teaching risk calculation, strategy, and fostering leadership skills - she was set out to create access and education for them. Through a network of high caliber female instructors, an intuitive app, and high-profile events, Jenny introduced over 32,000 women and girls to poker across 40 countries. From the glitzy casinos of Monaco to the vibrant streets of Kenya, Poker Power is breaking barriers and changing lives. They are on a mission to teach 1 million women+ how to negotiate, assess risk, and make decisions with confidence—from the classroom to the board room and at every seat in between. I've heard about Poker Power for years, and last night had an opportunity to join an intimate event, buzzing with amazing women in business including leaders, founders, and industry change-makers hosted by Full Picture and Desiree Gruber. We had the unforgettable opportunity to learn the game from the poker legend Lisa Pickell - the first WOMEN in history to win the World Series of Poker tournament and her team!! Ladies, I learned so much, and now I'm hooked. Poker Power comes to you for private events, where you and your friends, team, and colleagues can learn the game from the very best and how to apply those skills in business, finance, and board rooms. Do it!!
