The New York Shipping Exchange (NYSHEX) was founded in 2015 to solve the problem of poor contract fulfillment caused by misaligned incentives and disconnected execution. This results in $23 billion of economic waste that impacts all shippers, carriers and NVOCCs. NYSHEX offers shared digital infrastructure that helps to align incentives, connect execution, strengthen relationships, and reduce manual work. NYSHEX’s Proactive Performance Management (PPM) technology helps users to jointly manage allocations and plans, and to be alerted in real time when any shipment goes off plan. The NYSHEX indices make it easier for everyone to use contracts linked to an index, which removes a carrier’s incentive to curtail allocations when spot rates rise above contract rates, and a shipper’s incentive to shift volumes when spot rates drop below contract rates.

At a time when there was little interest in women entrepreneurs, Edith Dorsen and her team recognized the capital gap existing for female founders and launched the Women’s Venture Capital Fund-- driven by the belief that leadership diversity is a major competitive advantage. Incubated at a Harvard Business School reunion, Women’s Venture Capital Fund was the first VC fund in the country to focus on Series A stage companies in which senior leadership includes both women and men. Its successor, WomensVCFund ll remains 100% committed to funding companies with gender inclusive leadership. The Funds pursue a risk intelligent approach to venture -- investing only in Series A/B stage companies that have previously raised significant angel capital, developed their core technology, and are demonstrating revenue traction across Enterprise Software, EdTech and Consumer. Portfolio companies include Nvoicepay (acquired by NSE:FLT) Newsela (EdTech Unicorn), HopSkipDrive, Work Truck Solutions, The Dyrt, The Riveter, Aclima (award winning climate technology) and Materna Medical. From the launch of its first fund, WomensVCFund has sought to not just invest in early stage high potential companies with diverse and inclusive leadership but to be an advocate and catalyst in expanding the dialogue regarding capital access and the systemic issues that persist in our ecosystem. https://www.womensvcfund.com/women-entrepreneurs-an-impact-investment-or-not-wvcf-blog
