I mapped 60 funds actively investing in women-led startups and innovation across AI, SaaS, fintech, climate, healthcare, and consumer.
More investors are actively backing female founders and the opportunities are real, if you know exactly where to look and who to pitch.

…and 30 more funds I can't fit all on here.
I put together a free database with all 60 funds, including partner details, sector focus, investment stage, geography, websites, and contact details.
If you'd like access to it comment "Funds" and I'll share it with you.
For the past few months, I started focusing on a new project, and I'm finally ready to share it with the world.
I've written a book. Defending Bitcoin: Industrial-Grade Cybersecurity for the Monetary Grid.
6 months ago, I realized how I could apply my cybersecurity background to Bitcoin, with a perspective grounded in the world of critical infrastructure and industrial control systems.
In Defending Bitcoin, I make the case that Bitcoin is critical infrastructure, and I mean that technically. Critical infrastructure is everything essential for the modern world to run the way it does, and I assert that Bitcoin meets the threshold of that definition.
Defending Bitcoin is grounded in the industrial cybersecurity principles that I use on a daily basis. The framework I've built is based on ISA/IEC 62443, the most widespread industry standard for industrial cybersecurity, and applies universal cybersecurity principles such as defense-in-depth, risk management, and threat modeling. And in all cases, there's always something you can do to improve your security or that of the network as a whole.
I wrote the book for two audiences at once. The first is bitcoiners who want to improve their security posture. The second is technical professionals who may be skeptical about Bitcoin and want to understand it better. I build a base of vocabulary for both sides to understand each other, then cover the threat landscape over the course of 10 chapters.
Launching today is the accompanying website (in the comments) where you can get a preview of the book, read endorsements from @mikko, @JeffBooth, @LawrenceLepard, @LynAldenContact, @V4BTC, and more. I've also built a threat modeling tool where you can check how the book applies to you (fully local, we don't collect any data except your email address, if you want updates).
Defending Bitcoin will be available for purchase online on June 15th, right after @BTCPrague where I'll be debuting the book physically. Use code DEFENDINGBITCOIN for your ticket, and come see me in Prague to get your signed copy!
I'm thrilled to be releasing this book because it's truly the best possible contribution to the space that I can make. I managed to find a way to bridge the two worlds I live in, those of my day job in cybersecurity and Bitcoin. I hope you find the book to be a helpful guide to improving your security, and that it makes a positive impact for Bitcoin as a whole.
I'm looking forward to hearing what you think!
I’ve come to the conclusion that government is full of people who are not intelligent enough to make it in the free market so they need to resort to stealing and lying just to get by.
Does anyone else feel the same way? Like and share if you do🤝

Laura Meza's story proves Bitcoin needs more than developers - it needs connectors and believers.

Soooo is the ceasefire still on?
The UAE wants a swap line or they settle in yuan. AI CEOs are predicting they will wipe out millions of jobs. Consumer sentiment is at all-time lows while the stock market is at ATH?
New Mailbag Monday with @jackmallers is live at 6pm ET 👇
Just introduced my 70 year old landlady to @grok. She’s already found out why her fridge is suddenly humming, where to get broccoli seeds in Palma, whether her flight home is delayed, and she learned how to verify claims she saw on Instagram #grokisthattrue What a delight! 😄
I started using OpenClaw in February.
70-90% of my time & tokens was fixing bugs & tech support.
Coming back to my OpenClaw from a 2 week family medical emergency.
Should I retry with fresh install, switch to Hermes, learn Claude Code proper or wait for next gen agent models.
Bitcoin job postings dropped ~10% in Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025. 📉
Bear market? AI replacing roles? Or are Bitcoiners getting so FINDABLE that jobs get filled before they're even posted?
We dug into the data 👇

Bitcoin companies don't hire the same way fiat companies do.
Culture fit matters. Agency matters. Proof of work matters.
Here's what we learned from talking to Bitcoin employers:

Bitvocation has applied for a grant through @geyserfund's Impact Funds. Fingers crossed 🤞 Not sure how you can support for us to be chosen, but any support is appreciated :)

I do appreciate when Claude stops me. It's soo easy to get addicted to all this AI stuff! Plus, I still have Grok, Comet and Manus to play with in the meantime 😆
@bradmillscan Yes. I've noticed this too. Not touching open claw, but all the other ones (cowork, computer, etc.) It takes strength to pull yourself away. But I believe there's a middle way. I can still be an early adopter in two weeks when everything runs 100x better🤷♀️
If you have activity bias, ADHD or anything resembling OCD, OpenClaw is a terrible drug and productivity poison.
After 40 days in the trenches with this thing, my life is measurably worse.
OpenClaw is a lot like crypto trading, gambling or playing video games.
Most ppl are going to lose, and you’re going to feel like shit when you’re done - likely only 1% of ppl will find it additive to their lives.
I am in a constant state of stress. I’m skipping workouts, my vision is fucked from 12-15 hrs a day on screens, my forearms are fucked from too much typing.
There’s a never-ending maze of rabbit holes to fall down, footguns to step on and moles to whack.
Plus when you finally do get it going, you start projects and don’t finish them because half way through something breaks.
I’m not hitting the gym as often as I should, not eating right and I’ve completely lost sight of my goals and why I started in the first place.
The idea of OpenClaw is so compelling and it’s very exciting when I get glimpses of what the future is going to be like when this is not a patchwork of chaos.
This tech is dangerous.
I know I said this last week but I need to take a break … I’m burnt out from all the constant debugging and errors across every fucking surface of this thing.
It’s like trying to fly a plane without a license … oh and it’s on fire…and you’re on crack.
If you’re scared #AI will replace you or you’re not sure how to navigate the #Bitcoin job market in an AI world - this episode is for you!
Thank you, 𝘗𝘰𝘥𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥! for the collaboration this week! fountain.fm/episode/udynMS…
@elonmusk I can't wait! I'm maxing out my credits with all other tools, while Grok is explaining to me how they all work and helping me troubleshoot stuff 😆 I just want Grok for everything!
