Thank you for being here!

Vested Impact is where we build the map for women who want to invest. In plain language. With rigour. With community. With a clear-eyed view of risk, time horizons, and how wealth is actually built.

I write as one of many women in tech: a teacher at heart, an explorer of ideas, a first believer, and a mother. I’m grateful to be here, working toward parity so the next generation starts further ahead.

Vested Impact is how I test the hypothesis that when women invest, not just in companies, but in each other, capital flows differently. And when capital flows differently, systems change.
