What an all star line up, with a room full of all star women (and a few men)! 🤩Inspiring to start the day with so many incredibly smart and thoughtful minds. 💫 The discussion caused me to pause more than I ever have about investing and financially investing in women startups. 💰 Elizabeth, the panel’s moderator and amazing woman, offered pointed context about there being so many philanthropic southern women who are very generous in their giving, and asked how do you influence and rethink that type of giving into investing, especially in women??…💡💡 The struggle and statistics are real in investing in women startups, and in the workplace. Anna, one of the panelists and another amazing woman, made a very matter of fact, observational comment reflecting exactly that, “Women get promoted on performance. Men get promoted on potential”. 🎭 We need to change and influence that. I believe we can, together. What are your thoughts on how we influence the mindset of investing in women? * Women-founded startups accounted for 2% or less of venture capital (VC) funding invested in Europe and the United States in 2023, Pitchbook data finds. * But by VC deal numbers, women are making gains over the longer term.

Hotel and flights are booked, so it's official... I'll be in SF for #JPM2025! This past year has been incredible for expanding my network, but many connections have remained virtual. If you’re also attending, let’s change that! I’ll be all over the city grabbing coffees, stopping by hotel lobbies, hopping between evening events, and spending time at the Bullpen. So if you’re curious about what an outsourced #datascience team can offer—from building custom bioinformatics pipelines, ML/AI models, and scalable cloud infrastructures to accelerated translational biology decision-making with dovetail biopartners—or exploring ideas for impactful events, from curated networking dinners to pitch competitions and full-day summits through Buzzed for Biotech, let’s be sure to meet up! Drop me a message to coordinate. [Looking for sponsors for an exclusive Tuesday dinner in a 55th-floor penthouse. 30 people - VCs, executives, and change-makers. Ping me to get involved]

I felt this week drag a bit, but low and behold the end of the week is here, looking back on those last 5 days they were actually quite good and busy. I also smashed my phone, went dark for a the best part of the day. What did we used to do when we never had a phone, it's like your arms have been cut off. Had a host of editorial meetings with publishers, as our content and very amiable and talented Marc McFee is being picked up in the press which is great to see. A short attendance to The Times Money Mentor awards, was good, nice bit of networking, seeing a few old faces and meeting new ones, as well as getting to see where the magic happens for Talk Sport and Virgin radio was an added bonus. Winners can be found here https://lnkd.in/euRZ42sn Wave 4 of our European stakeholder study is open for new subscribers, and will have a degree of depth surrounding Private Markets as well as our standard brand benchmarking and country by country intelligent insight all for groups to understand the WHY's and what the shop floor actually thinks across Europe and where the retail/wholesale and institutional markets are investing. And to top it off we also have a few new starters who all seem very nice young people which brings a freshness to the office. Gods know what they'll learn from me 😀. Enjoy whatever it is you are up to. #marketresearch #sales
