The Origin Story
Brooke and Sola met in college at the University of Pennsylvania, where they clicked instantly over a shared passion for early-stage venture, consumer trends, and community building. In January 2024, the duo launched Womansplain to amplify the voices of female founders, funders and industry players in male-dominated spaces like finance and tech.
With 7+ years of experience in investing and growth equity, Brooke brings a deep knowledge of tech and SaaS investing. She brings an investor perspective to her current role as the Chief of Staff at a portfolio company. Sola complements this with a rich understanding of the consumer landscape through her work in real estate and food & beverage. Together, they blend unique insights on everything from fashion to hospitality, sharing trends and fresh perspectives on the consumer world.
On Womansplain, Brooke and Sola break down the latest in consumer and business trends, hosting conversations with inspiring founders to elevate their voices and foster community.
