Excited to be joining Symbium's board as they expand their partnership with California cities to transform vexing citizen-government interactions, clearing the way for climate and housing progress. #EnergyTransition #impactinvesting
Thrilled to announce our investment in @symbiumhq! Their Complaw® tech revolutionizes citizen-government interactions by streamlining permitting & rebates for home electrification. We're proud to back Symbium as they lead the #EnergyTransition for all! medium.com/@bbgventures/symb…
Kudos and thanks to BBGV’s @amberquinoa and @drewasilverman for the work that went into this report on funding underrepresented founders. Despite a lot of new funds and corporate commitments, progress is sloooow. #VentureCapital still has miles to go before we sleep.
We're thrilled to release our first ever "State of Seed Stage Funding to Underrepresented Founders" report—written by @amberquinoa and @drewasilverman and covered by @_emmahinchliffe at @FortuneMagazine! medium.com/bbg-ventures/seed…
As @GerwigGreta's Barbie breaks ground with biggest opening day of the year, here's a throwback to the ad that changed our perception of @Barbie: youtu.be/l1vnsqbnAkk
Very happy to be one of 5 female VCs added to this year's Seed 30 early-stage investor list, and honored to be among colleagues @aileenlee @kirstenagreen @jefielding & others! Thank you @April Joyner @maddierenbarger + @businessinsider team - and @tribecap for vetting!
We're proud to see @smlyne on the @BusinessInsider Seed 30 list! 🎉
Susan's background as a journalist, media exec & 3x CEO led her to invest in Canela Media (one of the largest funded Latino-owned co's) and more future of work, healthcare & consumer startups. Congrats, Susan!
Looking forward to @BBGVentures Summit on Tuesday. We programmed it to give founders insight and strategies for the world we’re in right now — and we held ten tix for BIPOC founders outside our network. Please share if you know someone who should be there!
Beyond excited to share that we’re hosting our first ever founder summit, BBGV Accelerate, next Tuesday—and we've opened up a few spots for five lucky pairs of BFFs (Best #founder Friends)!

In a bleak week for abortion rights, I’m celebrating @EmmanuelMacron’s promise to enshrine voluntary termination in the French constitution as an “inalienable right.” #GiseleHalimi #InternationalWomensDay
There’s a long road ahead to get to true gender equity, but #IWD2023 is a day to celebrate the wins and the women who got us here. Thanks to @melindagates and @pivotalventures for making #BBGVentures part of their celebration of change today!
Progress isn't just a byproduct of the passage of time—it's the direct result of people demanding change.
To celebrate #IWD2023, I asked five women fighting for gender equity to share their thoughts about what’s working.

A lot has changed since we launched @BBGVentures in 2014. @Nish67 and @ClaireBiernacks dug into the data on where female founders are building today — and how that’s evolved in the 8 years since we launched.

On Monday 5/9 the *legendary* @dunn is joining @join_real to discuss his experience navigating mental illness while founding @Bonobos. His new memoir, Burn Rate, is a cathartic and honest read, and we can't wait to hear more from him. Sign up to join here: bit.ly/AndyDunn-Real
In one term, Trump appointed Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett - 3 of the 5 votes to toss out Roe. All 3 lied under oath and said that Roe was confirmed law. If you care, vote! Midterm elections, local elections, 2024. Every single one.
I am old enough to remember life pre-Roe, when the consequences of getting pregnant too soon or too late in life drove constant fear. How is it possible that this will haunt my granddaughter’s generation?? Time to mobilize!
We could not be happier that you’re joining us, @theraquelscott!
Super excited to share that I’ll be joining @BBGVentures this summer & fall as an MBA associate! I can’t wait to continue supporting female founders and learning alongside @smlyne, @Nish67 @ClaireBiernacks and the whole BBG team ✨

Concentrated portfolios, high conviction. I’ve averaged 3 deals/year over my career, including incubations. This forced me to think hard about every founder and only work with the ones I truly believe in. It also gave me time to seriously dive deep with them & offer hands-on help
Thrilled that @anthillhelps won the 2022 SXSW Pitch Competition in Future of Work. Kudos to founders Muriel Clauson and Young Jae Kim for putting deskless workers front and center! #sxsw2022 sxsw.com/news/2022/sxsw-2022…
Thrilled to again back @canela_media in their $32M Series A led by our friends at @acrew @angelesventures, making Canela the largest funding for a Latina in media. We knew @isabelraffertyzavala was formidable from Day 1 when we met in 2020.🧵👇🏽 1/5

.@isabelaraffertyzavel went to 130 meetings with VCs before finding a band of women and Latino investors who understood the opportunity & stepped up to back her: every single dollar of the seed came from women and POC 4/5
Shoutout to the women who backed @canela_media at the seed including our co-lead @juliannezim @reinventurecapital, and @scmoatti @MightyCapital. Diversity in venture matters! 5/5
