We're really excited to bring Inicio onto our Cap Table! Jacob (Jake) Lefker, MBA and Jorge M. Calderon have been wonderful advisors and partners since we won a Campus Fund grant from Inicio last year, so we're really excited to be working even closer moving forward! For those unfamiliar, Inicio is an impact investing platform that provides resources to startups that benefit the Latinx/e community and manages programs that grow the Latinx/e startup ecosystem. As part of Hispanics in Philanthropy, Inicio leverages the broader startup economy to overcome the systemic challenges that have often disproportionately impacted Latinx/e founders. In their funding capacity, Inicio has invested in 19 startups, >60% founded by Latinas, across the US in a variety of sectors including healthcare, education, financial services, CPG and hardware. Using a founder advocacy mindset, Inicio actively celebrates, champions, and supports the ongoing development of their portfolio’s Latinx/e startup leaders. #socialimpact #lastmileconnectivity #socialentrepreneurship #impactinvesting

A fantastic #nomoretalking Lifted Ventures launch event at the Leonardo Gateshead this morning/lunchtime. An extremely valuable and much needed initiative from Helen Oldham and Jordan Dargue to connect female founders with the wider business/investment ecosystem. Great talks and sessions and I learned loads from inspirational female founders, investors, and others in the business ecosystem here in the North East and beyond, including Judith Hartley, Dama Sathianathan, Shkun Chadda, Amy Pierchod, Lisa Eaton FCIM, Michelle Jones 💛, Alice Rowen Hall, Kirstin Coughtrie. As well as catching up with Evangeline A. and Rhiannon Nightingale. I only regret having to nip out early before the end. Some key (and grim) takeaway stats I noted down: 🤑Only 2% of investment deals closed have female founding teams 👭Only 3p in every pound invested goes to female only teams (up from 2p). 👫24p in every pound invested (up from 14%) goes to mixed sex founding teams, and the rest (73%) goes to👬male only teams. Depressing. ◀72% of female led pitches succeed and receive an average of £174k investment. Compare this with... ▶...79% of male led pitches succeed and receive an average of £507k investment. Even more depressing. ♀ 25% of female founders are willing to use external sources of investment. ♂ 35% of male founders are willing to use external sources of investment. But ⤴Female founders are more likely to exit than male founders. And they exit earlier having made, pound for pound, greater (2x, iirc) returns on the initial investment. I mean, what's not to love about this ⬆ from an investors perspective. It's clear that there is a gap to be closed here and it's great to see these issues being addressed so strongly in our region. #liftedventures #femalefounders #investment #northeast #newcastle #nomoretalking

Childcare is an issue that affects all families. Every parent knows it has gotten increasingly expensive and hard to find. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called the childcare market "a textbook example of a broken market." We need a solution that integrates all stakeholders - families, providers, employers, and governments - to offer accessible, quality care for all families. We're thrilled to partner with Jessica Chang and the team at Upwards as they do just that. Upwards has become the childcare solution for employers and government groups across the US--from Amazon to the Department of Defense. If you're an employer or government entity, Upwards can provide care + technology for your employees and constituents. If you're a provider they can help you scale your business. If you're looking for care, they can match you with affordable options nearby, across the country.
