Three years ago, an editor told me that women and fintech coverage don’t mix. One year ago, I was told that Fintech Is Femme just “doesn’t make sense.” Today, standing here at Harvard University, wrapping up the first leg of my book tour, I can’t help but reflect on how far we’ve come— and the incredible importance of community in making it happen. The truth is, no one succeeds alone. The most powerful opportunities I’ve had—jobs, deal flow, partnerships— came from a community that shares abundantly. A community that doesn’t just open doors but builds entirely new ones. When we act in abundance with each other— sharing jobs, funding, connections, and ideas— we create more than enough. (As I’ve learned from Asya Bradley) And it’s within community that we find authenticity, the key to long-term success. Because knowing who you are, and bringing out your best self, only happens when you’re surrounded by people who strengthen you and challenge you to grow. That’s why I’m building the Fintech Is Femme Membership Community— to create the connections, mentorship, and opportunities that women in fintech deserve. This isn’t just about celebrating the women breaking barriers. It’s about rewriting the narrative of fintech leadership and creating a movement where women don’t just participate—they lead. ?? Join us at The FEMMY Awards & Celebration to celebrate the launch of this movement: ?? December 9, 2024 ?? Rise by Barclays Founding Members will gain access to: ? Mentorship with top fintech leaders ? Strategic networking with game-changers ? Career coaching, branding support, and job opportunities ? Voting rights to shape the future of this community ?? Reserve your ticket now: https://lu.ma/Femmys Together, we’re not just rewriting history— we’re building an economy where we all win. #TheFemmys #FintechIsFemme #WomenInFintech #Community #Leadership #Abundance Shoutout to Daniela Andrade and Harvard Undergraduate Women in Entrepreneurship for hosting us! *** Ps. None of those naysayers have accomplished what our lean 2-person team has done in one year. Anton Briones. Keep going. ??

What’s the common thread among the bold leaders of the Fintech Is Femme community? They take risks. They make bold calls. And the biggest call they make? Betting on themselves. It’s not just about taking a chance—it’s about showing up. Like flying to a new city, leaving your desk behind, and stepping into the room where it happens. The Fintech Is Femme table is growing longer every day. - Every new city we visit. - Every Fintech Feminists book signed. - Every inspiring speaker who takes our stage. Together, we’re building a movement that’s growing this #fintech community exponentially. ?? Here’s a 60-second recap of the unforgettable Fintech Is Femme Leadership Summit in San Francisco— a celebration of bold leadership, big ideas, and community-driven impact in #fintech This event was only possible thanks to our incredible team: ?? Asya Bradley you’ve shown us the power of giving generously, often, and without hesitation. Your vision is the blueprint for what it means to be a true Fintech Feminist. As you taught us: “Karma isn’t a bitch—I love her!” The multiplier effect you’ve sparked is undeniable. ?? Megan Gross, your time and connections are a gift to our community—thank you for your generosity. ?? Anton Briones, you made everything run seamlessly—we couldn’t have done it without you. Also shoutout to volunteers like Aashay Shah, Kelsey Willock Jones Vrinda Gupta To our phenomenal speakers, attendees, and supporters: this is just the beginning. Here’s to making bold bets and building a future where Fintech Is Femme. Let’s do it again soon. ??

Thrilled to announce that I’ve been invited to speak at Harvard University! I’ll make the case for why #fintech is a game-changer for women in entrepreneurship, presenting to the Harvard Undergraduate Women in Entrepreneurship cohort. We’ll be discussing opportunity, impact, and the unique ways women are tackling our economy’s most pressing issues. Afterward, I’m excited to host a live podcast recording with the founders of Frich Money Katrin Kaurov and Aleksandra Medina – two amazing women redefining financial independence for Gen Z. ????? Nearly 100 folks have already registered, and I’ll be gifting signed copies of my book, “Fintech Feminists,” to the first 50 guests ?? ?? When: November 14, 6-7pm ?? Where: Harvard University ?????? Who: This event is open to the public: students and professionals Sign up here (it’s free): https://lu.ma/fifharvard Thank you to Daniela Andrade for the invitation and this brilliant community you have built! **** A Personal Note: As a part-time professor, there’s nothing like being in a room full of students ready to change the world, guiding them through the ropes of entrepreneurship. This passion for teaching feels like it’s in my DNA; my late grandmother was a professor in the Philippines, and I can’t help but think she’d be proud to see her granddaughter speaking at Harvard. ??

I've always believed in the power of showing up. For years, I’ve been a huge fan of Nicole Casperson and the incredible work she’s done with Fintech Is Femme. She’s built and designed a community focused on what’s most important: female success in fintech. Fintech is the infrastructure that makes the world go round - as long as you “follow the money,” you’ll quickly find the solutions powering our future. As a girl dad, I’m obsessed with creating a world where my daughter can be anything they dream of: an entrepreneur, CEO, CTO, soccer player, or even President of the United States. Nicole’s vision has always been about more than just representation; it’s about ensuring the future of innovation is femme. That’s why I’m thrilled to speak at the Fintech Is Femme Leadership Summit, representing Fiat Ventures on November 12th at the Chandran Gallery in San Francisco. This event is about making connections, getting inspired, and accelerating careers in ways you might never expect. Don’t miss your chance to join this incredible community—let’s show up, learn, and create a brighter, more inclusive future together. ?? Event Date: November 12 ?? Location: Chandran Gallery, SF Grab your ticket and bring a friend—because this is a movement you want to be part of. #FintechisFemme #GirlDad #RepresentationMatters #Fintech
