🌟 Celebrating Pocket Sun: Champion for Women Entrepreneurs 🚀 In the landscape of venture capital, gender disparity remains a formidable obstacle. Yet, amidst this challenge, Pocket Sun, Co-Founder of SoGal Ventures, shines as a beacon of empowerment and change. Pocket's journey began with a simple observation during her time at USC: a lack of representation for women and diverse voices in entrepreneurship. Determined to address this imbalance, she founded the SoGal community, which has since blossomed into a global network of over 256,000 members across six continents. When faced with skepticism from investors about the viability of investing in women-led businesses, Pocket remained undeterred. Today, with three unicorns and a top-decile fund under her belt, she stands as a testament to the immense potential of women entrepreneurs. But Pocket is more than just an investor. She's a mentor, a cheerleader, and a tireless advocate for women in tech. Through her leadership, she not only provides capital but also guidance, support, and opportunities for women to thrive and succeed. Pocket Sun's unwavering commitment to leveling the playing field for women entrepreneurs is an inspiration to us all. Let's celebrate her achievements and continue to champion diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.

🔥 COMING IN HOT🔥: It's time to call out the blatant double standards in advertising! As a proud supporter of our fund I portfolio company, Unbound — a women's sexual wellness brand — we are profoundly dismayed by the censorship and bias they are facing. Why is it that men's sexual health brands can freely advertise, while women brands are constantly battling restrictions and censorship? This isn't just about advertising, it's about equity and justice ⚖️. To expose this injustice, they created a fake brand, Thunderthrust, selling similar products targeted at men. Guess what? The ads went right through 🤯! No rejections — a clear demonstration of the gender bias in advertising. Unbound was forced to rely on organic growth due to these restrictions. And while this approach has its merits, it's a strategy born out of necessity, not choice. It's time for social platforms to review their policies and ensure they are fair and unbiased. SoGal is working to level the playing field, and we won't stop until we see change. Step 1: spreading awareness on the issue. Join us!

Did you catch Nadya O., the powerhouse behind SoGal portfolio company August, alongside Beatrice Dixon from The Honey Pot Company and Yanghee Paik from Rael on the USA TODAY show 📺 ? The trio joined forces to discuss something wildly important: ending the sales tax on menstrual🩸products! 💪 These incredible women are putting serious pressure on policy makers by challenging the notion that menstruation products are luxury items and therefore should be taxed as such...🤨 Together, they formed the Tampon Tax Coalition, allowing consumers in 21 states to submit receipts and get reimbursed 💰 for the taxes they pay on these essential products. Nadya reminded viewers, "...periods are natural, period products are necessities, and we need to take down the tampon tax because it sets a dangerous legal precedent!" We couldn't be prouder of their efforts to make menstruation products more affordable for women all across the nation! Let's join forces, spread the word, and send a unified message that helps end period poverty, making menstruation products accessible to everyone. 💖 Watch the segment, spread the word and head on over to the Tampon Tax Coalition to learn if you're eligible for a tax refund: https://tampontaxback.com/ #TamponTaxCoalition #PeriodEquality #EndTheStigma
