Beyond The Billion® (launched as The Billion Dollar Fund for Women®) on LinkedIn: #investinwomen #beyondthebillion #business #entrepreneurship… (2024)

In his opening remarks, James C. Rhee framed the tangible value of goodwill in the face of capitalism, and truly, the proof was right there in the room: our private family office dinner last week at Newport, RI was over-capacity; filled with thoughtful, intentional investors and we couldn't be more grateful. We had the honor to invite Dana Dornsife, Founder, Lazarex Cancer Foundation | Dornsife Family, Dune Thorne, Chief Strategy Officer, Brown Advisory | Thorne Cox Family Foundation, to share their perspectives on building multi-generational wealth with purpose. A warm thank you to our special guest Mayor Xaykham Khamsyvoravong for joining us and welcoming us to beautiful Newport, and our partner Brown Advisory for continuing fueling women-led innovation with us.Check out our recap here for key learnings and takeaway from our conversations with family office leaders: https://lnkd.in/es46Jgy2Shelly Porges Sarah Chen-Spellings Hailey Ji Dune Thorne Caroline Spillane Sacks Daniel Meador #beyondthebillion #investinwomen#womeninbusiness #familyoffice #womenledinnovation

Congratulations Sharon Vosmek Astia & Mae 💪🏻“Here’s the bad news. Today, Black women are 3X more likely to experience a pregnancy -related death than white women. Black women are 49% more likely to give birth prematurely, which impacts the health of our children. And here’s the silver lining: an estimated 60% of Black maternal deaths are avoidable.Mae was founded on a belief that all women deserve an equal possibility of a safe pregnancy and giving their babies a healthy start” #femalefoundeddeals
