Our founder, Natalie, spent years navigating male-dominated environments from the classrooms in engineering school and advanced mathematics coursework to derivatives trading on Wall Street to tech sales and investing.   

She spent years in search of a workplace culture that inspired and supported her, and witnessed countless individuals (often, women) lacking fulfillment who were working too hard while failing to reach the professional roles they had earned. Following the loss of her mother to suicide at the beginning of 2019 she made a life and career transition to honor the loss she experienced and the journey she experienced. Natalie launched She’s Independent to cultivate a space in the world to support and celebrate professional women who want to give it their all in their careers, in their relationships, and in caring for themselves. 

The women Natalie worked with asked how they could allocate capital alongside her and She’s Independent then launched an investment focus to skill, support, and celebrate new investors, while impacting money flows and power dynamics in the process.
