Rent the Runway hit 15 years old last month. At the helm of the business still is CEO Jenn Hyman, who cofounded the clothing rental service when she was a 27-year-old business school student. https://lnkd.in/e9craCzR Hyman has seen Rent the Runway through its highs—like the late 2010s, when its unlimited subscription service had started to become ubiquitous in certain markets—and its lows, like the cratering of its business during COVID shortly thereafter. In the years since, Rent the Runway has struggled, and a true attempt at a turnaround is still in its early days. Through it all, Hyman has asked herself two questions to determine if she should remain at the helm of the business: Is she tired? And, more importantly, “Do I still believe?” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e9craCzR

Hi friends 👋 please help me spread the word: our Ingeborg Investments 2025 Summer Internship Application is LIVE! Our Summer Internship is a 10 week program. Each summer, our intern receives direct exposure to every component of the venture deal process and plays an instrumental role supporting the publication of our annual research report. Our work at Ingeborg is grounded in four core values: • We believe in the disruptive power of women’s ideas. • We believe women are natural leaders. • We believe successful women empower successful families. • We believe diversity adds value. Our incredible past interns - Devon Pasieka and Nimisha Shinday - helped us publish research I am so proud of, focused on Investing in Motherhood (2023) and Women & Wealth (2024). Mira Kaufman and I have lots of ideas brewing for 2025. Excited to meet a new cohort of undergrad/grad students and see who will join us next summer! LINK TO APPLY ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eeSu_x-f

For anyone who still has their doubts, I can confirm: venture does not have a pipeline problem. I recently had the opportunity to join hundreds of senior women investors from across the venture capital community for the annual All Raise summit. Being in rooms like these that are filled with brilliant investors – who happen to be women – is a powerful reminder that the stats that plague our industry are tired and long-overdue to change: 2% of venture dollars invested in all-female founded teams; 3% of AUM raised to female fund managers. Does anyone think women only have 2-3% of the good ideas?!? Who gets funded matters. Funding is an important factor in helping brilliant ideas break through. I was energized by the conversations I participated in at AllRaise and look forward to more collaboration and co-investments with this community. Let’s continue to fund the future together. -- Olivia Sterns Walton Linnea Roberts GingerBread Capital Ita Ekpoudom Aileen Lee Pivotal Ventures Operator Collective 🔆 Mallun Yen Stacy Brown-Philpot BBG Ventures Heidi Krauel Patel Rethink Impact, LP Katherine Rice Holly Maloney Paige Hendrix Buckner Susan Spears

We believe in using different kinds of funding to accelerate social progress. Some of that funding is philanthropic, while some investments are designed to generate financial returns. In a new article, our Managing Director of Investments Erin Harkless Moore, CFA highlights the kinds of return-seeking investments we make, why we’re focused on getting more money in the hands of women founders and funders, and what we hope to signal to other investors through our approach. https://lnkd.in/g4qx3ZbS
