    Imagine: Women with power through wealth with Sallie Krawcheck

    Tune in for a conversation with Wall Street powerhouse and CEO of Ellevest, Sallie Krawcheck. Ellevest is the number one investing platform for women. We will delve into how the financial services industry has underserved women, the impact of greater financial equality in modern society, and Sallie’s journey as a fintech founder who beat the odds. This episode was recorded at a Soho House at an event where we brought together members, investors and founders. I’m joined by guest co-host is Rachel Vass of Syzygy cities. Disclosure: Ellevest is an investment in a Node Innovation Ventures syndicate I led to democratize access to venture capital. This enabled women and allies to invest in the $53M Series B alongside top tier investors such as Kholsa Ventures, Melinda Gates, Salesforce Ventures and more.  Our investor base included 72% women, 58% minorities, 39% founders/business owners/fund managers. Our base was a diverse group of investors across tech, film, finance, digital agencies, beauty, fashion, lawyers, and former athletes.
