Did you see our co-founder Kay Koplovitz in The New York Times this weekend!? If you don't have the print version, you can access the online article here: https://lnkd.in/dXBhH9hB. "We like male co-founders. I have no objection at all. But I object to women not getting credit for raising a capital. And that sort of puts women in a small box of saying we’re defining you as a founder and you raise 2 percent of venture capital, when in fact that’s not true. You can’t tell me that somebody like Melanie Perkins from Canva — whose company has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in capital — doesn’t raise capital. Or Helen Greiner from iRobot didn’t raise the capital to launch the Roomba into the marketplace. Or that Sheila Ann Mikhail from Asklepios BioPharmaceutical, Inc. (AskBio), who also has a co-founder who is male, wasn’t the C.E.O. who raised the capital to take the gene therapy company to market. I mean, it’s just the perception is wrong. This is a myth about women that has to be dispelled today in the marketplace. Women are much stronger than the market wants to give women credit for."

Congratulations to our Springboard alumna Dr. Piraye Beim on being one of 23 award recipients to receiving funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H).

Springboard Enterprises co-founder Kay Koplovitz was interviewed by The New York Times! "Once the most powerful woman in television, the founder of Springboard has spent the past 20 years identifying and funding female-led start-ups." Thank you Sarah Kessler for taking the time to learn about Kay's story and how Springboard became the success it is today! "About 3 percent of the companies that have gone through Springboard have gone public. What is the industry average? One percent. One percent of companies coming to market go to I.P.O. That is a huge difference. Some of these data points for Springboard, when women get the support, give me great confidence that more women are going to come to market and be extremely successful."
