If you are a founder building in this arena or an investor who shares a similar interest, say hi.

We've been busy delving into a new take on the Future of Work for a very underserved segment of the population: Boomers. By 2030, the entire Boomer population will have hit retirement age and Americans 65+ will outnumber those under 18. This has huge implications for the economy.

It also forces us to rethink retirement and enable a “third act” for seniors, one where they can keep learning, keep earning, keep socially-engaged and contributing to the nation’s economic growth.

Love to bust a stereotype: the top 5 categories female founders are building start-ups in 2022? Biotech, software, AI, healthcare, fintech.

Not a surprise to me, but great reading the data from @bbgventures showing the move away from consumer over 8y: https://t.co/4ytwSHuDKY

We 100% agree. Tactical advice & value > everything

[Kristen LaFrance @kdlafrance]

What if we started running events that were less about getting the *most popular* people in a room and more about giving *real operators* a place to find *real value*?

We gotta get back to serving people over vanity.

*the fine print is important👇

If you’re a female founder solving a big problem, whether it's B2B, B2B2C (or B2C!) -- reach out, we’d love to meet you! 📩[email protected]

We were excited to see that the top verticals for VC investment in female-founded cos in @PitchBook's VC Female Founder Year in Review were B2B services, software and pharma & bio -- along the lines of those we called out in our post last year: https://t.co/iH0MqFho2D

[BBG Ventures @BBGVentures]

As we reported, a larger portion of BBGV Fund III’s MOIC is driven by B2B vs. B2C. Our data and @pitchbook’s shows female founders continue to solve real world problems that impact millions at scale via increasingly B2B & tech focused companies.

We're excited about Personal AI's MODEL-2 and invested in their seed round because we saw the promise of personal (aka small, personal language models) in AI. We think about this as personal intelligence versus general intelligence– and that's the future of AI for individuals.
