On Thursday evening, I had the privilege of hosting Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Jonathan Haidt at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art for an eye-opening discussion about the horrific consequences of social media and excessive smartphone use on our kids' well-being. I’m proud Arkansas is leading the way with the Phone-Free Schools initiative, with 112 districts already on board. The early results are nothing short of amazing. Since starting the pilot program last year, Bentonville West High School reports that verbal and physical aggression offenses fell 57%, drug-related offenses dropped 51%, 86% of teachers saw increased student engagement and 77% saw improvements in classroom behavior.    Back in May, Gov. Sanders sent a copy of Haidt’s “The Anxious Generation” to all of our state legislators and every Governor in America. Thank you Governor Sanders for your leadership on our adolescent mental health crisis. I encourage everyone to read "The Anxious Generation,” and learn more here: https://lnkd.in/duGbdRMU You can view our discussion here: https://lnkd.in/gbzRC44T -- Olivia Walton

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

It’s hard to believe that it was only 50 years ago that it became legal for women to apply for a credit card without a man’s signature. It’s unthinkable that until this day in 1974, when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act was passed, women were prohibited from taking full ownership over their lives. And it’s astonishing that in such little time since then, we’ve gone from “Father may I” to a world driven by the “Feminization of Wealth” — where, by 2030, women are projected to control at least $30 trillion in financial assets (more wealth than ever). Where do women stand right now? In an excellent position to plan for their financial freedom. Get started with Ellevest at www.ellevest.com.

THIS! ➡️ "Ovaries lose function earlier than the rest of the body, leading to many women spending two thirds of their lives dealing with a degree of infertility, and one third of their lives in a stage of poor health post-menopause. Currently with our lead program, Fertilo, we are looking to reduce the hormonal burden on women and address infertility. Now with this award, we have sufficient resources to further apply our cell engineering technology and bring forward a program for women going through menopause, an area with even fewer treatment options.” - Dina Radenkovic (Turner) Congrats Gameto, Dina Radenkovic (Turner) and team on this well-earned $10M grant award.

*NEW RESEARCH REPORT* We are excited to share our 2024 Research Report: Women & Wealth – The Wealthspan. Click below to download. Why did we write this report? ➡️ By 2030, American women are expected to control nearly $30 trillion in financial assets, up from $11 trillion today. This seismic wealth transfer presents a unique opportunity for startups to redefine how women manage and grow their wealth — as investors, consumers, shareholders and market movers. Historically, Fintech has not been considered an “underinvested category” like Women’s Health or Motherhood. In fact, it has received $1.8 trillion in venture dollars over the last decade. While in theory these dollars have predominantly funded solutions for everyone, in practice user data reveals that women remain an untapped, underserved and underfunded market segment. In this report, we introduce “the wealthspan,” a framework that inclusively outlines the building blocks of consumer financial control for everyone. Because only when we distinctly consider the unique needs of female consumers can we tap into the full $10 trillion Wealthspan opportunity. This methodology guides our predictions for the next decade and serves as the foundation for identifying how venture-scale startups can drive innovation, particularly when they are built with women in mind. https://lnkd.in/e8vk6E-Z
