Do you take pride in making your own money?
Investing in startups can be a game-changer for your financial future, allowing you to build wealth and deploy your capital in direct accordance with your values. Too often, though, women don't participate, leaving lifelong upsides on the table.

Nancy has served as a senior executive at the IBM Corporation, CEO of 2 social services non-profit organizations, Dean of the College of Business at San Francisco State University, and then Vice President of Finance / CFO of that university.
