Conversations, programs, and community we’ve built with Avenue.
We kicked off 2026 with a powerful panel featuring Amie Patel (Elevar Equity), Aury M. Cifuentes (How Women Invest), and Zoe van den Bol (Alpha Partners), who brought distinct perspectives spanning impact-driven and revenue-focused investing. Despite their different theses and career stages, they aligned on backing strong founders, taking thoughtful risks, and the importance of women building expertise, networks, and ownership in venture. One key takeaway: if we want funding to shift, more women need to influence where capital flows — especially at the LP level.
Blair Boyajian, the head of Business Development and Brand Partnerships at Daydream, joined us for an intimate conversation about all things fashion x startups, partnerships, and the future of AI in the e-commerce space
A collaboration with our very own NYU Women Founders org for a relaxing time to decompress and chat.
An interactive session with founders Indianna Roehrich (Tomorrow-Today Beauty) and Trisha Goyal (BreakSports), where students got to ask questions and learn directly from founders about building in beauty and sports tech.
Our semester started off with a meetup with our girls at Central Park with great weather and conversation.
Our cohort came together with seven seasoned VC investors from across the country (and beyond) for weekly sessions, gaining insider and diverse perspectives on the vc world.
