🎉 Female Founder Friday 🎉 

Meet Arezou Zarafshan, the visionary founder of Call Emmy. 

We are so inspired by Arezou's unwavering dedication to gender equity, female leadership, and entrepreneurship. She is a true trailblazer. Her remarkable journey as a CEO and founder not only transforms the family services landscape but also ignites a fresh wave of empowerment and opportunity for women in the business world. 

Call Emmy stands at the forefront of innovation as a double-sided technology marketplace, reshaping how busy working moms access safe and vetted help on-demand, a lifeline for countless families in America and beyond.

Arezou's leadership has yielded remarkable results, with a staggering 300% year-over-year growth in revenue. Notably, Call Emmy has garnered recognition as one of the must-watch startups of 2022 and was also covered by Nasdaq. Arezou's strategic acumen has introduced a groundbreaking revenue stream, offering on-site childcare for events and conferences, a venture that has seen exponential growth. Their clientele includes esteemed organizations such as the Colorado Bar Association, Colorado Women's Bar Association, American Association of Forensic Scientists, Kentwood Real Estate, and Hensel Phelps.

Call Emmy is on the verge of a patent-pending integration with major event organizers. This isn't just taking the company to new heights; it's launching it into uncharted territory. With this groundbreaking move, the future is so bright that post-integration (2024), the need for raising capital might become a distant memory. It's a leap into a realm where innovation knows no bounds, and nobody has ever dared to tread.

Interested in investing in Call Emmy or other women-owned and led startups? Join us today! 

Creating a more equitable future means looking to the people building our future. 

We had the pleasure of leading a Negotiating your Worth session at the Greenhouse Scholars Career Fair and are always impressed by the community of future leaders among their ranks. 

Akshay Gupta, a Greenhouse Scholar studying Computer Science Engineering at the University of Michigan shared that Natalie's session was a game-changer. "Her concrete examples on salary negotiation and self-advocacy provided clear ways for me to use her strategies. I now approach negotiations with confidence, knowing how to respectfully bridge gaps and foster future collaborations." 

Thanks Akshay and everyone at Greenhouse Scholars for this event and all the work you're doing to ensure that people of all backgrounds have the opportunity to live the life they choose.

A big THANK YOU to the team at JPMorgan Chase & Co. for putting together an inspiring event at this year's PowerHER. We got to chat with Ginger Chambless, Tiffany Lewis, and Danielle Shoots about the current market and funding environment. 

We know the current VC funding environment is feeling the impacts of the current economic climate, but that doesn't mean people can't access capital. 

Interested in finding alternate paths to capital or if an angel investment is right for you? Let us know!
