I don’t offer mentorship or coaching. It’s not what I sell, and it’s never been part of my business. My focus has always been on building media and a venture fund that gives women access, community, and capital at scale.

That’s why this is such a rare opportunity: for the first time, I’ll be opening up 1:1 sessions where you can ask me anything.

I’m joining as an official mentor at the Female Founder World Summit in NYC, a one-day event bringing together 1,000+ of the best founders in NYC for tactical workshops, fundraising advice, live mentorship, and the kind of connections that can change your business.

If you’re there, you’ll be able to sign up for time with me directly — whether you want to talk about fundraising, pitching, scaling, building a community, personal branding, or literally anything else on your mind.

And because I know not everyone can snag a ticket, I’m giving away 5 Business Bestie tickets (valued at $179 each) to this community.

If you want to grab your own ticket, you can do it here! The first 20 tickets purchased can use the code GENSHE10 for 10% off!

Hope to see you at Female Founder World! ✨

Last week, I rented out a private 4-story Manhattan mansion and threw my first-ever New York Fashion Week event.

It was a night that brought together 400+ of the top industry leaders across fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and tech from brand executives to founders, CMOs, and creators who are shaping what’s next.

From the moment guests walked in, the vibe was set: a grand piano on the first floor, every guest dressed in full glam, and an energy that felt straight out of a movie.

Across the mansion’s four stories, we curated experiences that made the night unforgettable: a tarot reader, an illustrator sketching everyone’s looks, a hidden DJ upstairs that turned the mansion into a full club, and luxe gift bags for every guest with $200+ worth of beauty & wellness goodies.

This wasn’t just a party. It was proof of what happens when you create space for ambitious, creative people to collide.

But I couldn’t have done it without the incredible partners who brought this vision to life.

If you missed this one, trust me, you’ll want to be at the next. And here’s why: I don’t just want to talk the talk and tell you to network — I’m walking the walk by building these rooms for you, the Gen She community. Spaces where you can meet the shapeshifters who can change the trajectory of your career.

And these events will always stay free, because the last thing women need is another gatekeeper standing in the way of their dreams.

So don’t miss the next one! Events are only dropped here in my newsletter. 💌

Last week, I attended HubSpot’s INBOUND conference, where I noticed something I’d never experienced before: I had nearly 200% more people approach me, often starting with something as simple as “I love your outfit.” What surprised me was how quickly those conversations turned into meaningful connections—whether it was a founder inviting me for a coffee chat, a potential partner asking about Gen She, or someone introducing me to a new investor. The conference felt like it had shifted into passive networking mode, and the only thing I had done differently was hire a stylist.

The impact has been undeniable. I’ve been taken more seriously in rooms where first impressions matter. My confidence going into high-stakes conversations has skyrocketed. And the ripple effect on my business has been tangible—new partnerships, warmer investor intros, and a stronger presence at events. Honestly, it might be the highest ROI expense I’ve made this year.

Shoutout to my stylist Ceci, “cool girl meets business casual” has never looked this good! You can see all the outfits I wore here and shop the fits in my storefront (spoiler: most are Amazon, Zara, or vintage, so it’s super affordable!
