Renegade

Boardrooms owned. Babies born. $32 million raised. Investments made. Stages taken (even with Oprah). Books published. Our Renegade female leaders, execs and founders have shown up big. A year ago, we launched Renegade. There are now 400 graduates across 15 countries in the Renegade community and growing corporate Renegade roster with Fortune 500 companies.  We had one Renegade run for Senate, another raised $32 million in her venture fund, one Renegade took the stage with Oprah and a couple Renegades were asked to speak at the White House. There are too many "wins" to recap. What we are most proud of is the fierce commitment Renegades have to each other's personal and professional goals. Daily, we are honored to witness these women, my friends, share obstacles, solutions, celebrations, tears, promotions, life-altering moments, tough-love, success and ego-less, unwavering support. That's sacred and powerful. We've only just begun and there's room for more Renegades. Apply today if this resonates with you. https://lnkd.in/gQeiFqzC We're onboarding Renegades each week. Imagine what we can create together in 2023! #leadership #investing #womeninbusiness #femalefounders

Friends of Renegade, Halogen Ventures, held a thought provoking conversation yesterday around childcare, homelessness, incarceration and ways to solve these societal issues, led by their Founding Partner, Jesse Draper. The conversation featured Renegade, Nisha Anand, the CEO of Dream.Org and what they are doing specifically in the “Justice Innovation” sector. We love seeing these incredible collaborations tackling truly important issues. Watch the full conversation below.

On the Why Not Now? Podcast, Guy Kawasaki shared a question you can ask people you disagree with, that will foster a healthy conversation instead of creating more tension. This is definitely a tool to add to your tool belt. This interview is wide ranging, one of our all-time favorites and a pinch-me moment for Amy Jo Martin.

Renegade, Lauren Bongiorno and her company Risely Health have partnered with Daily Harvest. “The Blood Sugar Collection” is a 9-item collection of meals and snacks curated by Lauren (Founder & CEO of Risely Health) and her team to help benefit people who are actively managing their blood sugar. This is another big achievement of many for Lauren over the years. It’s been an honor to see her grow and thrive. In this photo, Lauren is sharing her Go-To-Story with fellow Renegades at the 2023 Renegade Summit in Miami. Congratulations, LB! 

“We’re going to Renegade the sh*t out of this” Nicole Rex , VP, Global Campaigns at Dell Technologies , looked around at the “old way” of leadership and felt uninspired. So she rewrote the rules. Asking herself Why Not Now? she continues to reinvent how she leads to make work work for her and her team. Inspired by you, Nicole!

40 angel investors created and over $1.3M invested through Renegade Global Ventures. Renegade Tatiana Ferreira, former SVP Neiman Marcus Group, joined Renegade to find a container of like-minded women focused on action, not just ideas. Following her Renegade Accelerator graduation, Tati leveraged Renegade to not only make her first angel investment but to launch a new career in luxury sales and commercial real estate investing. At Renegade, we are democratizing access to deal flow - from early seed stage to private equity. Interested in learning more? Check out renegade.global/ventures.  

Reinventing Social Impact Investing 🔸 Renegade Nisha Anand, CEO of Dream.Org, is leading the way in reinventing social impact investing. Dream.org recently awarded $1 million to 3 justice tech organizations disrupting the criminal justice system. Nisha acts as a bridge in her role as CEO of Dream.org, where she helps connect unlikely allies to lead impactful change. She also serves as a bridge within Renegade helping to amplify members through advocacy and support - such as introducing fellow Renegade, Melanie McNally, PsyD to the White House to serve on the Task Force for Youth Mental Health. “We too often fixate on all the division and polarization in our world, and fail to see how many innovative problem-solvers there are out there…when they join forces with unlikely allies, real systemic change can happen.” Congratulations to FreeCap Financial, Inc, JusticeText and Unlocked Labs for your recognition and hat tip to you, Nisha!

Intentionally strategic leverage, backed by resources. We have a track-record of creating more access, opportunities and sponsorship. It's 2023, mentorship and empowerment are table stakes. If we don't already offer that for one another, we're way behind. If you don't have those fundamentals in place in your life or circle, that's valuable data. The insight? It's time to change who is in your circle. At Renegade, we're focused on shifting the flow of money, power and decision-making in an effort to create a positive economic impact overall. From there, a lot of changes and solutions (that most of us are craving) will start surfacing. Sound interesting? DM us with “Learn More” to learn exactly HOW we are doing this through: 🔸 Financial Leverage via the Renegade Multi-Family Office with Raymond James 🔸 Access to deal flow and investments via Renegade Global Ventures 🔸 Education and curriculum around monetizing your thought-leadership on stages and on board seats via the Renegade Accelerator 🔸 Opening doors to powerful networks and relationships via the Renegade Collective
