"I have been involved with startups for many years as an advisor, entrepreneur and investor. I joined The Fourth Floor (soon to be The Fourth Effect) as it seemed to have strong female founders and a fantastic mission to advocate for more women board seats. Because of this community I met the founder of a AI/ML/Data Science startup. I signed on as a board member very quickly and happily.”

"So many great things have happened. It's crazy but at least $1M of our raise came from The Fourth Floor (soon to be The Fourth Effect) connections or events."

"Fourth Floor is an incredible community of exceptional women who are there to help each other -- to provide support for start-ups, community for legal counsel, education and resources for board-position seekers, and so much more."

"As a founder, The Fourth Floor is my go to for resources, connections, and education."

"Thanks to The Fourth Effect's innovative platform, I gained unparalleled access to influential advisors, directors, and strategic investors. As a The Fourth Effect x UBS fellow, I had the privilege of attending exclusive in-person events where I had the chance to interact directly with industry experts and fellow ambitious founders. These invaluable face-to-face interactions facilitated genuine relationships, fostering potential collaborations, partnerships, and future growth opportunities."

"In The Fourth Floor (soon to be The Fourth Effect) I have found a community of like minded women in business all there to lift each other up and make strong connections to offer every woman in every industry an opportunity for growth and success. The Fourth Floor has provided me with relationships, including an advisor, mindful and powerful networking events, the courage to be bold and announce that my business exist, and most importantly, the opportunity to have a seat at the table and my voice heard. It’s take a village for all parts of life and I have found my village for my success in business."

"The Fourth Floor is such a great community of loving and supportive humans - on top of that they very well accomplished! The networks here are incredible and the support is all about giving with no expectation. The women here are incredible and to the image of the wonderful founders - very generous with their time, attention and support, truly! I’m very happy to be part of this wonderful community!"

“It is not an exaggeration to say that Kat and Breen have carefully curated the best days of my entrepreneurial life in the last three years. I am also a Professor and as a former Conference chair at a “Big Ten” university for a large organization of Black women professors. I regularly attend events of this kind. The Fourth Effect’s events are different. The programming is very carefully curated to facilitate warm introductions for underrepresented founders like myself. We need a similar event for Black women professors who found companies - I am already planning. Thanks for leading the way!”
