Why Abortion Matters for People Creating & Investing in the Future Economy

October 4, 2023 @ 12:30pm ET / 9:30am PT

The venture capital community has enormous power to shape society. With a focus on innovation and building the future, VCs have an obligation to lead on reproductive rights - because criminalizing abortion is a violation of human rights that limits innovation.

Join All Raise CEO Paige Hendrix Buckner alongside Christie Pitts, Mandy Bynum, and Janna Meyrowitz Turner from VCs for Repro for a conversation around one of culture's most debated topics: Abortion Care. This Power Conversation will cover how abortion restrictions impact investment firms, their portfolios and the economy; why lobbying and advocacy are missing from the women’s healthcare companies; why wealth and education cannot save anyone from the impact of maternal mortality; and, how limiting access to abortion care is a form of control that the VC community can reshape with their power and influence.

This dynamic 1-day retreat will bring together Funders from the state of Florida and beyond - building their relationships to propel themselves and those they are funding. 

The retreat, led by Dr. Bita Sarah Haynes, Founder + CEO of Coachera, offers valuable insights into health and wellness strategies while also addressing the myth of the work/life balance narrative. 

Retreat activities and workshop aim to strengthen bonds, refine strategies, and align visions while emphasizing the importance of self-care and healthy relationships to achieve sustainable holistic success. 

Thank you to our event sponsors: CoachEra Technologies, PADL and Love Life by Mi

All Raise is partnering with the McGuire Method for Becoming Your Most Confident Self: Presenting Powerfully and Navigating the 7 Deadly Sins of Q&A.

Lead by Allison McGuire, Creator and CEO of the McGuire Method, and Maura Athari, Performance and Communications Coach at the TMM, this program is an immersive communications training to unearth your most confident, powerful self and an interactive, in-person mental agility training to refine Q&A skills.

The event is hosted by Canapi Ventures.

All Raise is excited to host a roundtable discussion for startup founders, investors, and corporates looking to better understand and navigate corporate-startup engagements. We will kick off this event with a brief panel session featuring corporate innovation leaders at PepsiCo, TelevisaUnivision, Diageo, SGWS, and Ferguson to uncover the mismatched pace and differing motivators between startups and corporations. Roundtable discussions will follow to explore strategies startups and investors can adopt to successfully identify and engage the right corporate contacts for investments and revenue-generating opportunities.

Corporates will walk away with a better understanding of how their peers are accelerating growth and solving specific business challenges by working with startups and how to garner the necessary internal support and resources to maximize the potential of these corporate-startup partnerships.

By inviting corporates and VCs into the conversation, our goal for the evening is to bridge the communication gap, address fundamentals on the types of corporate innovation (e.g., activities, structures, and champions), and provide actionable steps for founders, investors, and corporates hoping to connect the dots between scalable ideas and businesses.

We are excited to announce the All Raise Chicago Unconference 2023 will be back on November 15th! Building on our learnings from last year, we're excited to bring together our community for a day of engaging content and authentic community. We're bringing together the top women and non-binary founders, investors, and leaders in the Chicago tech scene for a day of open conversation, learning, and real connection building.

There is so much to learn from each other and this format allows us to do just that. What’s an Unconference you say? It’s similar to a conference, but better! We’ll be in a beautiful space, with food and drinks, and hear from a keynote speaker and a panel — however, the majority of the agenda will be a peer-led format with discussion topics decided by you.

Anyone can submit a topic that they're interested in leading (RSVP form to come closer to the event). It can be something that you want to share your knowledge on, or something that you want to learn more about and collaborate with the other attendees. For those leading the discussions, it will be quite informal. No presentation required.

Here’s how it works:

Once we have all of the topics, we’ll have everyone vote on the sessions and schedule those discussions throughout the day. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in two to three sessions on different topics. And then you all take it from there and the magic happens in the small group discussions.
