This is why we do what we do at Nobellum - and why hosting events like the BIS Summit is critical for increasing representation at all levels of leadership and industry. Black female fund investors are a fraction of 1% of all financiers. That being the case, what chance do you think female founders have - particularly ones that are bringing products and services for the black community to market like Rochelle S. and Tosin Olivia During? At the current rate of economic mobility, it’s estimated that it’s going to take black households 320 years to reach parity with white ones. We refuse to accept that as fact, and are going to encourage as many investors and entrepreneurs as possible to think BIG and make their impact on the innovation economy. Our mission is simple: 💥Bring awareness and resources to black founders 💥Lead by example as black female angel investors and VCs 💥Advocate for policy that protects and supports diverse founders and funders 💥 Be at the table when it comes time to write a cheque and support the growth of diverse founders and pro-social companies Want to get on board with this? Tickets to the BIS summit are FREE - link in comments. #blackinnovation #blackexcellence #venturecapital #bissummit #nobellum #entrepreneurship Melisa Ellis

I was lucky enough to spend all of Wednesday at London Business School, with a group of fab female founders 🤩 Organised by the wonderful Emmie Faust, Female Founders Rise team, John Mullins and Selin Kesebir and funded by London Business School, we covered loads - from being clear about what you want from your business, to better understanding your balance sheet, to making better strategic decisions, to how to make your cash work harder for you, to how to negotiate better. My biggest takeaway was that being human in business really does pay off - in terms of negotation, growth, strategy etc. 🙌 For so long, we've been sold this idea that to be successful in business you need to be aggressive, ruthless and single-minded. You have to prioritise your own gain above all else and never show any "weakness". But it's not true ❌ Really understanding other people and how to get the best out of them and for them is one of the most important, and under-appreciated, skills in business. And being someone who people actually like to work with, along with some healthy challenge and debate, is SO important. I really think having more diverse founders is contributing to this shift in mindset. And we need plenty more of them 🙏 So spending time with such an inspiring and fun bunch of female founders (some familiar faces and many new ones) was a real treat and got me very inspired! #FemaleFounders

🌐 Hedy Lamarr: A Visionary Mind Beyond the Silver Screen 🧠💫 In the captivating narrative of Hollywood's golden era, Hedy Lamarr emerges not only as a celebrated star but as an extraordinary inventor whose impact on American society transcends the confines of glamour and fame. Innovation Amidst Hollywood Glamour: During World War II, Lamarr co-patented a frequency-hopping system alongside composer George Antheil. Originally conceived to thwart enemy torpedo jamming, their invention laid the foundation for modern wireless communication technologies, influencing the development of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Struggles Against Stereotypes: Lamarr faced the challenges of a society that often emphasized her physical allure over her intellectual prowess. The acknowledgment, "It blew me away there was this woman who was brilliant celebrated for her face, not for her mind," encapsulates the societal struggle she navigated. Overcoming Societal Norms: Despite societal expectations and typecasting, Lamarr defied boundaries. Her journey serves as an example of resilience and determination, breaking free from the limitations imposed by societal norms and emphasizing the multifaceted nature of women. A Pioneer's Legacy: Hedy Lamarr's legacy extends beyond the glamour of Hollywood. Her story is a beacon for young women, encouraging them to pursue intellectual passions fearlessly. Lamarr's ingenuity underscores the vital role of women in shaping technological advancements and societal progress. In commemorating Hedy Lamarr, let's appreciate not only her cinematic brilliance but also recognize her profound contributions to science and technology. Her legacy challenges us to appreciate the intersection of beauty and intellect, paving the way for future generations of women to excel in diverse fields. 🌟🚀 #HedyLamarr #InnovationTrailblazer #BeautyAndBrains 🎥📡
