Women Are About to Take Over Silicon Valley's Money Game - And They're Not Asking Nicely

Mayor Garcetti with Jennifer Siebel Newsom at the 2020 Women's March LA

California just dropped the ultimate financial feminist power move, and we’re here for it.

First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom is leading a revolution that’s about to shake up the tech world’s money landscape with the California Women’s Wealth Advisory Council. This isn’t just another government initiative - it’s a full-blown economic takeover designed to smash the patriarchal piggy bank of venture capital.

Breaking the Financial Glass Ceiling

Let’s talk numbers: An estimated $84 trillion is about to change hands in the next two decades, and women are saying, “We want our cut”. Currently, women receive a tiny fraction of venture funding and are woefully underrepresented in asset management. But not for long.

Empowering the Next Generation

The council isn’t just talking - they’re taking action. By launching initiatives like the California Equal Pay Pledge and requiring financial literacy courses in high schools, they’re creating systemic change from the ground up. Starting with the class of 2030-31, every California student will graduate with serious money management skills.

Disrupting the Status Quo

This isn’t just about equality - it’s about reimagining who gets to play in the economic sandbox. By bringing together leaders in finance, venture capital, and government, the council is strategically positioning women to control more capital and create more opportunity.

The message is clear: Women aren’t just asking for a seat at the table anymore - they’re building their own damn table.
