Did you know nurses and retail workers stand for 8 to 16 hours in a single shift? When I was at Nike, we dug into the opportunity to better serve people who stand for a living—those who spend hours upon hours on their feet to serve us in healthcare, food and beverage, retail, education, security, and more. Proper footwear to disperse and return energy to their feet is critical to short—and long-term health and safety. Solutions for these workers are important and underserved. We are so excited to share the news about @cakeventures portfolio company STAND+. Congrats to @RobGreggNYC on this launch! If you know someone who stands for a living, we highly recommend these as they are effective for health and safety and also look fly!

I’m excited to welcome @shaherose to the @cakeventures team as Venture Partner. I've known Shaherose for 10+ years -- she started Women 2.0 around the same time that I was building Black Founders. We worked out of the same co-working space and became friends and co-conspirators.

Today, we're excited to officially launch Cake Ventures, a $17M fund dedicated to investing in companies that touch areas of demographic change. Raising a debut fund is never easy, but first funds are like classic hip-hop albums -- they outperform. @cakeventures/introducing-cake-ventures-fund-i-aka-reasonable-doubt-67bb8ab37b36" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@cakeventures/…
