We’re thrilled to re-introduce the WEI Monthly Newsletter—our way of sharing exciting companies, spotlighting interesting events, and keeping you connected to the broader ecosystem supporting female founders. We hope it brings a little inspiration (and maybe even a little joy) to your inbox each month.
It’s hard to believe it’s already February. Somehow it felt like both the longest month and the shortest month ever. And if we’re being honest, the chaos didn’t take a holiday.
Which is exactly why this felt like the right time to reboot.
We can’t control the outside world. We can’t slow the pace of change, calm the headlines, or predict what’s coming next. But history reminds us that moments of disruption are also moments of tremendous opportunity—especially for founders willing to stay focused, flexible, and grounded.
At WEI, we spend a lot of time listening to founders, funders, operators, partners, and ecosystem builders. And what we’re noticing is a shift in how women are building: prioritizing resilience over hype, clarity over noise, and progress over perfection. In times like these, the most powerful thing we can do is focus on what we can control—our decisions, our networks, our curiosity, and our willingness to adapt.
This newsletter is our place to share what we’re noticing, what’s shifting, and why it matters—especially for women building companies in moments of uncertainty and possibility. Think of it as part signal, part storytelling, and part invitation to stay connected.
We’re glad you’re here. Let’s navigate what’s next—together.
