  • It’s always a great conversation when women who are passionate about investing in women founders get together to talk about how to steer more venture capital to their businesses. So we were thrilled when podcaster/women’s equity champion @_lauranixgerson invited GBC Founder/CEO @linneaconradroberts to have a chat with her on her podcast, Venture:F about the issues we care about most: how women can build their wealth and invest in the success of other women. Have a listen! Link in our bio. #womeninvestors #womenfounders #womenfunders #womensupportingwomen #womeninvc #womeninfinance #womenempowerment #equity
  • It’s been a great week spending time with some of our favorite people in the VC ecosystem! In the Bay Area, GBC Founder Linnea Roberts met up with @paigehbuckner of @allraiseorg, in anticipation of the All Raise Summit, to be held Nov. 12-14 in Half Moon Bay, CA. During the event Linnea will join Ingeborg Investments’ Olivia Walton for a panel discussion on women investing in women. In New York, GBC Partner Ita Ekpoudom met up with @deenashakir of @_luxcapital at the launch of her new children’s book, “Leena Mo, CEO” that inspires young girls to “think big” and follow their dreams. Ita later celebrated Deena’s book launch at an intimate luncheon where she met up with @chelseaclinton, founder of Metrodora Ventures, in which GBC is an LP. Back on the west coast, GBC Partner Katherine Rice attended Ulu Ventures’ AGM at the stately Kohl Mansion in Burlingame, CA. (GBC is also a Limited Partner in Ulu, co-founded by Miriam Rivera.) An unseasonable heat wave didn’t put a damper on this fresh gathering of leading VCs and founders where Katherine met up with Erin Harkless Moore and Brittney Riley Gavini of @pivotal_ventures . And wrapping up the week, GingerBread Capital was a proud sponsor of the inaugural gala of @girlswhoinvest, a nonprofit that promotes and supports career paths in finance for young women. Ita brought together a great group of women for the event, which was held at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in NYC. Happy Autumn! 🍂 #womeninvestinginwomen #womenfounders #womenfunders #womeninvc #girlpower #childrensauthor #womeninvestors #fundwomen
  • GingerBread Capital Founder + CEO @linneaconradroberts got to hang out with some of our favorite people the other week when she attended the G9 Summer Summit in the Hamptons. The annual event, hosted by @g9_ventures Partners @amygriffin and @annadoherty at Amy’s estate, brought together an illustrious group of 120 women founders and funders for a day of networking, gnoshing, candid panel conversations, and an expo featuring edible and wearable goods from female-led startups (and a popup bookstore featuring great reads from @reesesbookclub). @reesewitherspoon was a featured speaker at the day-long event, which also was attended by @Spanx Founder @sarablakely, @sprinklescupcakes Founder @candacenelson, makeup guru @bobbibrown, jewelry designer @sheryllowejewelry, Founder/CEO @joannastrober of @midihealth and many other amazing, innovative, visionary women. And look who Linnea met up with in Amy’s apple orchard!
