Daniella Pierson launches Chasm to help women secure venture capital funding.

Pierson said she laughed at meetings with VCS when she provided her own newsletter called The Newsette.

After all, she still has created a multi -million dollar business and wants to help other women do the same.
Daniella Pierson said she was a “poster child” for “not investing” before creating his own several million dollars business.
It is now seeking to help other “non -incorporating” women to ensure funding of their ideas with its new organization Chasm, where it wants to help eliminate gender gap in venture capital funding.
“I didn’t have any investment not because I didn’t want it. I really wanted it,” Pierson told Business Insider. “I went to dozens of venture capital VC and I was rejected, rejected, rejected, laughed at every room.”
One “household name” told Pierson that she talked too much and did not know what she was saying: “I was crying all the Uber home.”
Despite his failures, Pierson called himself his newslette, The Newsette, which she founded in 2015. During his second pillar year at Boston University.
Until graduation, she will write a full newsletter from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., before rushing to classes, presenting the latest beauty, fashion and business news. Then she also worked in the evenings and weekends.
“Even after we made a million dollars, I still wrote,” Pierson said. “I didn’t have a fancy risk capital money to look back.”
2021 The Newsetts team was 14 and a year of $ 40 million in one year and earned tens of millions. The following year, Pierson has released another Wondermind newsletter, along with Selena Gomez and actor’s mother Mandy Teefey.
That year, Forbes called Pierson the youngest in the world, the richest self -created color.
It took more than five years of hard work for Pierson to succeed beyond her “most wild dreams.”
Pierson said she grew up as “a stupid twin – it is not the nickname I gave to myself. This is something my cute teachers and peers called me in the face.”
As a businesswoman, she faced many obstacles and challenges. She failed her business project in college and was almost thrown in a semester before graduation. She was diagnosed with OCD when she was 14, and also lives with ADHD, depression and anxiety.
Pierson does not want it to be difficult for other women like her.
The amount of all women consisting of all women is small. 2022 They accounted for 2.1% ($ 5.1 billion), Bi said earlier. 2023 It decreased to $ 1.8% ($ 3.1 billion).
