😐 SCOTUS should NOT be political, but unfortunately for all of us, it has become that. 📣 "IFundWomen is an a-political organization. We don't care if you are on the left, right, or are a green alien; if you need help with funding, we are here for it." Karen Cahn, IFundWomen Founder & CEO. Karen has said these exact words in hundreds of speeches since she started the company, and she means it from her heart and her business brain, which SHOULD go hand in hand at a purpose-driven, for-profit company. 💡IFundWomen also helps men get funding because mixed-gendered cofounder teams perform better. 😩 Ironically, IFW is not fighting for survival because of any discriminatory practices–we're struggling to stay alive because the COMPANY NAME has the word "WOMEN" in it. 💔 We loved our corporate grant partners—they not only enabled $170M in grant funding but also provided coaching grants and marketing support to thousands of our members, taking their businesses from Stage 1 (idea) to Stage 5 (product-market-fit). We do not blame them for staying out of the political fray. We wish we were not in the fray either. #standwithifundwomen and please support our survival and rebrand with any amount you can: https://lnkd.in/eBKQzbu4 💸 Thank you to these ifw alums who FUNDED the campaign, made videos, written posts, shared, and sent emails attesting to how IFundWomen has fundamentally helped their businesses Blair Imani Jill Angelo Tammeca Rochester Sandra K Johnson, Precious L.

🫠I hate mixing business and politics, but the sad fact is: SCOTUS killed my business. 👯♀️When Samantha Katz and Joy Hoover asked me to keynote the first Founders for Kamala Zoom, I asked them what they wanted me to talk about. They said “As a founder, tell us your Why Kamala story.” Given what IFundWomen has been dealing with for the past 15 months, the speech wrote itself. Please support the #standwithofundwomen crowdfunding campaign so we can rebrand and survive, https://lnkd.in/gR78bdby #IFundWomen #scotus #rebrand #crowdfunding #dei
