After a year of success with her hair care business, entrepreneur Charlotte Louis felt something was missing—happiness. Embracing mindfulness and self-development, she founded SenterME in April 2022, a Raleigh-based resource for women's emotional wellness. Expanding from coaching to tech, SenterME launched an app for women professionals in February 2024 and recently won $1,000 in the RIoT Accelerator XVII Pitch Competition.

Do you feel seen? 👀 Vese Aghoghovbia, founder of Philly & Friends, never wanted representation to be a question when it came to her own children. So, she rewrote the narrative. Inspired by her daughter Philly, Vese created the award-winning purpose-led children's brand, on a mission to add a drop of colour and diversity to the playroom. Vese knew that empowering children at a young age would build confidence to last a lifetime, making books, toys and games the vessel of change.📚 With social impact at the heart of the business, for every product sold, Philly and Friends sponsor a book into the hands of an underprivileged child. But feeling recognised and identified goes beyond childhood, and we know that the startup space still has work to do. Empower100 is a new programme of support from Virgin StartUp designed to level the playing field for founders raising investment and growing the businesses they're passionate about. 😅 👏 We want to see you, hear you and support you.👏 Designed to help Black, Asian and minority ethnic founders, women founders and founders with a disability, based in Greater London, we want to help unlock the potential for growth and investment in their startups. This is a completely free accelerator for founders on the move, who're ready to take on the next stage of growth, raise investment and boost their skill sets. Apply before 20th September for the chance to be in our October cohort: https:/virg.in/Empower100 ⏰

MEN SECURE 98% OF #VC FUNDING so it's no wonder that there are so few female CEOs of startups. But that doesn't mean they don't exist. So let's get educated. Would love to issue a challenge to my LinkedIn community. Can you tell me names of 5 female CEOs? Would love for us to share, support, and repost and tag 3 people! I'll start: Amrita Saigal - Founder/CEO of Kudos, best plastic-free diapers on the market. Kristi Zuhlke - Founder of Knowledge Hound, leading it to a successful exit and now onto her new adventure. Cindy Gallop - Founder of Make Love Not Porn. Legend in the marketing industry. And one of the best compliments I received was when someone told me I reminded them of Cindy. Melanie Wicander and Brooke Gibbs - Co-Founders of ARTYFACT, using their consumer insights knowledge to work with Fortune 50 clients Silvia Wang - Haven't met her yet but love what she's doing in the mental health space in Italy and kudos for raising 7-figures in funding! Tagging you Stefania Quaini Dino Torrisi Adah Parris (she/her) to get the chain going!

Dear SAAS NORTH community, We're reaching out to you with an invitation that's as exciting as it is empowering. We know the SaaS landscape can sometimes feel like a challenging maze to navigate, especially as a woman founder. We're also acutely aware of the stark statistics that have been defining the tech world for far too long. In Canada, only a mere 4 to 7% of venture capital finds its way to women majority-owned or women-led tech startups. Let's change that narrative together. Let's shift the dial, disrupt the norm, and create a future that's more equitable, and more inspiring than ever before. It's not just an empty promise, here's how we're committed to empowering women-led SaaS founders: Picture this: mentorship that's tailored to your needs, $100K in funding opportunities that can help your SaaS dreams take flight, and your chance to meet active women angel investors from across Canada. It's all part of our The Firehood Angel Camp, designed to give your startup the boost it deserves. We're also offering exclusive access to significantly discounted passes for women-led early-stage startups. We want to make sure that nothing stands between you and the knowledge, connections, and opportunities that SAAS NORTH has to offer. #saasnorth #saas #equalityanddiversity

I have ‘fearless’ inked on me as a reminder of the tenacity it takes to be me—a black woman owned founder & creative; disrupting multiple industries across the board. I’m super grateful for my mentors that put me on EARLY in YR1 during business about venture capital and Angel investing. • • When it comes to black women & founders of color—venture capital and grant funding is gatekept: Women of color receive 0.39% of venture capital. I have the utmost gratitude for the Fearless Fund for continuing this fight despite white capitalism. ( Fearless Fund ) • • “Being fearless does not mean you are not scared, it means that you fear LESS & do that very scary thing anyway.” — Shennice Cleckley, Executive Director of the Fearless Fund ( @iamshennicec ) Let me tell y’all— the team over at the Fearless Fund really curated a SAFE state of the art experience for black women founders: a summit where venture, meets culture. • • I laughed. I cried. I cheered on other women of color founders—connecting with some really dynamic women. There’s ALOT of shifting we are doing business wise, but note it’s to provide a better experience for those we serve via Meik Meals, @thelotusprogamexperience & @rootedeastknox . This was certainly a God move —being placed in position to FINALLY attend the #FearlessFundSummit • • Never in a million years I thought I’d be an entrepreneur—but being able to trailblaze lanes for humanitarian concepts is my specialty. Sign the petition below if you support women of color but most importantly— community.) https://lnkd.in/gtTihMgK So thankful for my soul sisters & entrepreneur gals of Empowered Doula Services & Bintuitive Massage🩷 • • Bet on black women, period. See you in 2025 Fearless Babes 🩷✨ #FearlessFundSummit #FF23 #entreprenuership #blackwomen #womenofcolor #venturecapital #angelinvesting #blackequity #blackowned #blackcreatives
