Did you know that Alabama ranks last in the nation for female entrepreneurs? Announcement! Halogen Ventures is investing $10 Million into female founders in Alabama! We are so excited to announce our partnership with Innovate Alabama, a statewide public-private partnership dedicated to advancing entrepreneurship, technology, and innovation in Alabama. We are honored to be the first out of state venture capital fund that the state of Alabama has ever invested in through InvestAL. We don’t take this opportunity lightly and have spent the last few days in Birmingham getting to know the amazing ecosystem. I’ve been blown away. Alabama has world class universities (University of Alabama, UAB, Auburn, Huntsville), they have representation of over 50 Fortune500 companies and 2 are based solely in Alabama. Tim Cook the current CEO of Apple is from Alabama. Shipt, an Alabama based company sold to Target in 2017 for $550 Million and has spun out some interesting businesses. They have so many tech accelerator and incubator programs in the state that my team had to map it out. All of the pieces of a burgeoning ecosystem are there and if you’re curious if they have female founders? I feel like we just discovered the jackpot. We are looking to build new funding pipelines and mentorship and corporate initiatives around the Alabama technology ecosystem to make money and change. Please reach out if you are interested in being part of this impactful movement . #halogenvc #JesseDraper #Alabama #InnovateAlabama Halogen Ventures Ashley Balla Jennifer Kwan Mandelbaum Adriana Gadala-Maria Ochi Jessica Robertson Innovate Alabama

ICYMI: Last month, Rasa Founder & CEO Noella Sudbury hosted a TEDxSaltLakeCity talk and shared how technology and innovation can transform legal services and unlock second chances for millions of people across the country. 1 in 3 Americans have some type of criminal record, ultimately excluding people from opportunities and holding them back years after their involvement in the justice system. Rasa's platform helps users instantly determine their eligibility for record clearance and connects them with an affordable lawyer. This affordable process of clearing a criminal record is life-changing. Research shows that individuals with cleared records are 63% more likely to land job interviews, and their wages increase by over 20% within just one year of record clearance. Congratulations to Noella Sudbury on the great TEDx talk! Watch the full TEDx talk here: https://lnkd.in/eWcSy2tQ Learn more about Rasa here: https://lnkd.in/g9yuKP9i Jesse Draper Ashley Balla Jennifer Kwan Mandelbaum Adriana Gadala-Maria Ochi Jessica Robertson #halogenvc #rasa #rasalegal #earlystage #femalefounders #investinwomen #futureoffamilies #tedxslc #tedx
How can you tell if someone has a criminal record? Statistically, it is more common than you might think. 1 in 3 Americans have some type of criminal record. While it is difficult to tell who among us has records, unfortunately, that doesn’t mean it stays hidden. In a digital age, criminal records are just a background check away from excluding people from opportunities, holding people back years after their involvement in the justice system. But what if there was a way to change that? 🔴 That’s where Noella Sudbury, our CEO and founder, comes in. In her inspiring TEDxSaltLakeCity talk, she shares how technology and innovation can transform legal services and unlock second chances for millions of people across the country. #tedxslc #tedxsaltlakecity #accesstojustice #expungement
