The State of Women Podcast Network

We are creating a mobile app where women and girls can access global podcasts in settings that have low bandwith/poor connectivity to Spotify/iTunes that will help them with professional development, financial, and health literacy. There are 750 million girls currently out of school. Many will not go back and another billion have not had the opportunity to attend school or higher education. Our audible mobile app solution will not only give them an opportunity to educate themselves, but a chance to earn an income through their podcasts or present their ideas/projects to potential sponsors/donors from around the globe. Special features include a personalized content algorithm for both news and podcasts along with a search engine to easily access information. We have 150+ podcasters/influencers already signed on and in discussions with leading podcast-hosting companies and various partners for global distribution as well as the chief data scientist at IBM.

Without universal basic literacy we will never reach gender parity, which is critical in achieving all 17 UN SDGs. Traditional methods of schooling have failed for numerous reasons in remote underserved areas, which leads us to offer new alternatives. Spotify only reaches 200 million individuals, iTunes even fewer, which leaves much more room for improvement. The State of Women Podcast Network aims to not only reach billions of women and girls through our conversational artificial intelligence mobile application, but will also offer policy makers, government stakeholders, NGOs, and business leaders a new way of gathering sociographic and demographic data using machine learning and analytics based on user patterns. Women have been underfunded, from their basic education to the women entrepreneurs who are developing solutions to address challenges that are only understood by other women. PERIOD. We are going to solve this problem by not only giving voice to the voiceless but by amplifying those voices that can and will change the world once they finally have the opportunity to share their ideas, address their challenges, and present their point of view through extensive data and analytics.   

We are using Google Flutter for our front end and Firebase for our back end so that we can capture demographic/sociographic and geo-locating-based data and analytics on user patterns of women and girls who will for the first time have access to our various podcasts from around the globe. Spotify has 200 million listeners, mostly customers who can afford their service on top of the data usage fees from mobile service providers, on top of smart phones that most people cannot afford in their lifetimes. We have a high-tech artificial intelligence-powered app that will be able to impact and serve those who have and continue to be marginalized. By gathering better quality data and analytics; Ministries of Health, Ministries of Education, and NGOs will be able to design better programs and initiatives. Our target audience is women and girls but our content will be relevant for ALL. 70 percent of all social media users are women and we intend to use podcasters from around the globe who are also influencers to share their content peer-to-peer, reducing cost of customer acquisition and also increasing the global reach of our data collection and dissemination capabilities.  

Two out of five people on our planet are women of color. More than 50 percent are millennials or GenZs who do not have access to audio literacy. We believe this space is going to be even more important post-COVID, when schools and higher colleges of education are closing down and computers and distance learning become an even greater barrier to upward social mobility. The State of Women Podcast Network will feature content targeting women and girls in the areas of entrepreneurship, financial literacy, personal development, health, and wellness that have been traditionally been accessible only to those who have smartphones with data coverage that not everyone can afford. We are working closely with content creators now and have signed on 150+ distinct podcasts during lockdown and aim to scale this number quickly through various partnership channels. We plan to reach target populations we serve through partnerships with NGOs on the ground, multinational industry leaders, academic partners, and governmental agencies who are focused on health, education, and gender equality. Our free service will be tracked through Google Analytics on what topics are trending the most so that content can be personalized and programs and interventions can be tailored accordingly. 

We are 100 percent aligned. The State of Women Podcast Network's core mission is to amplify the voices of women and girls so they have alternatives to the way they learn about their health, wellness, personal finance, entrepreneurship, business, technology, and various topics of interest that are available in a non-course format. We are exploring the possibility of tokenizing our podcast network so our users will be able to generate tokens that can be used for various types of rewards while we collect useful data and analytics that will help us in generating even more personalized content through our algorithms. 

As soon as our mobile app is launched, The State of Women Podcast Network will be the largest podcast network dedicated to advancing women and girls. Spotify, iTunes, iHeartRadio, Acast, JioSaavn, Pandora, and SiriusXM have more of an entertainment and radio focus. The State of Women is more educational; featuring topics such as entrepreneurship, investing, wellness, health, technology, business, and family; which we believe will evolve into our niche. The Seneca Women's Podcast Network launched by Ambassador Melanne Verveer is more selective and tied to iHeartRadio. Our focus centers on reaching demographics around the globe who currently do not have access to any of these other channels. 100,000 new podcasts were started in April 2020 during quarantine across all podcast hosting platforms. Nearly 70 percent were started by women. We believe we have created a solution whose time is long overdue and much needed as we reach our "new normal". The world is becoming increasingly more digital, and women and girls need even more resources and adequate opportunities to access information so they can better care for themselves and their families, and to participate fully in ways that they have not been able to before—especially women and girls who have been excluded in the old economy. Our solution was designed during the pandemic with the explicit goal of getting critical health information data and analytics from women and girls in remote areas—users who are currently inconsequential our irrelevant to our current competitors. 

The core technology that powers our Solve solution for women and girls is a conversational artificial intelligence and machine learning-based mobile application, combined with a personalized content algorithm for better understanding learning preferences for women and girls in remote areas where mobile connectivity remains a huge barrier. Traditional high technology solutions such as ours have yet to be applied at a mass scale in gathering valuable data and analytics, especially for delivering health and wellness information that can be used by Ministries of Education, Ministries of Health, and the World Health Organization as they plan out vaccine deliveries and targeted campaigns for preventable infectious diseases. We are working with Dr. Eva Muller-Stuhler, chief data scientist at IBM, to better understand how we can integrate our solution with technologies that they have already perfected and distribution channels they are already serving who could greatly benefit from a solution such as ours. 

iHeart Radio currently houses 300,000 podcasts and contains the largest global library of podcasts for any mobile app. Spotify has 200 million unique subscribers, slightly more than iTunes. Traditional radio broadcasts and internet-based podcasts had to be recorded in studio for decent sound quality; however, there are now apps such as PodBean or Buzzsprout that only require iPhones or Androids with a clear connection and a built-in microphone to produce one's very own podcast that can instantly reach millions. The solution that our team in India developed was created in low-latency settings during lockdown, where Wi-Fi remains a challenge. Our innovation came out of necessity since many people who were at risk of spreading COVID-19 did not have access to smartphones, especially those who are migrant workers and many living beneath the poverty line. There are no papers written about what we have created, since everything was developed in real time while we signed 150+ women podcasters from around the globe who are graciously contributing their original content that will be used to serve and impact audiences where their podcasts currently cannot and do not reach. As soon as our mobile apps are live on Google Play and the Apple App Store, our podcaster and influencers will blast their social media channels along with our various content-sharing partners to reach our target demographics. We have attached a video of what our app will look like and the various podcasts that are now ready to be shared. 

Our world is out of balance, which is more clear now than ever. It is our collective duty to redesign the world we all want to live in. Our solution begins with the fundamental way we communicate with women who have traditionally been overlooked when it comes to technologies that have been inherently designed for privileged white men who can afford expensive cellular phones and exorbitant data plans. During the recent pandemic, many populations across Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa were displaced. A large number included women who became even more at-risk to gender-based violence while nearly 750 million girls were forced to no longer attend school. A large percentage may never go back to school due to early marriage, child labor, or economic devastation. In short, these women and girls need new tools to educate themselves and their families that are accessible in rural environments, where there is poor connectivity.  Our solution is a 2G-based app that may be accessed using fingerprint authentication; using conversational AI (think SIRI), with which they can download a library of educational podcasts around women's health, entrepreneurship, wellness, innovation, and other related topics. We will start with English content but this can be easily replicated and localized through our shareable mobile/digital solution. Our mobile app will be launching at the end of June/early July on Google Play/iOS and promoted through hundreds of social media channels through our committed network of global podcasters and grassroots partners. We will then be able to track valuable data and analytics that will provide us with critical geo-locating metrics. Over time, we be able to disseminate this data to any and all stakeholders wishing to develop policies and programs around women's health, entrepreneurship, innovation and other topics in situations in which regular two-way communication and education is critical—and most importantly, we will track our collective IMPACT.

Our mobile app for the State of Women Podcast Network will currently serve 150 women podcasters and their immediate communities which are spread all over the world. Women Investing in Women Digital has close to 1,000,000 followers on Facebook who we serve through our social media news feed. Our goal is to start sharing more audio content through our various social media channels as soon as our mobile app launches. One year from now, our intention is to scale our reach across South Asia through our various NGO and grassroots partners in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Pakistan. Our podcasters are primarily in North America, Australia and various parts of South Africa at the moment; however, we do anticipate more reach across the Middle East and East Africa and the Caribbean by early next year. Five years from now, we will be in 150+ countries, without a doubt. Our goals are to partner with Sirius XM/Pandora who has satellite distribution that can reach Oceania and difficult-to-reach islands around the globe. Sirius XM already has a partnership with Pandora so we are fairly certain we will eventually partner with them. We are already in discussions with major podcasting hosting companies such as Libsyn and Podbean and hope to form a solid content-sharing collaboration that will help their hosts increase their distribution within the next 12-18 months. There is absolutely room for a female-led global podcast network, and it is in this growing community that we will make make our presence known. 

85 percent of consumer decision makers are women, while women remain dominant forces for both creating and consuming social media. All of the major podcast networks—whose audience is predominantly women—are led by men. Our intention is to dominate the podcast industry through both our voice and our vision, effective immediately. Our immediate goal is to amplify the voices of the podcasters who join our network by serving large audiences of women who have never had access to content like what we will be sharing on our mobile app. We aspire to provide new opportunities for micro-entrepreneurship for women in remote areas of the world, enabling them to use their voices to earn incomes to support themselves and their families. More importantly, we hope to reach millions of girls who may not otherwise have the opportunity to continue their educations because they are unable to return to school. Podcasts have the unique ability to serve as professional development tools and there is a hunger for knowledge in so many parts of the world where access to computers remain mere hopes and dreams. Through partnerships with NGOs and governmental agencies; our big, hairy, audacious goal is to transform millions of unheard voices into content creators—who will reshape the world we all live in and, who knows, possibly even make it a million times better. 

There are many qualified individuals who have recently left the workforce and are seeking new ways to both influence and impact the world, not to mention a new generation of college graduates. We are currently applying for grants and raising a seed round to start hiring cutting-edge content creators and skilled technologists who can help us scale and grow our capabilities to serve and impact as many women and girls around the globe who need access to our technology. Technology is what will demand the most attention in terms of making sure that our data and analytics are always the best that they can be. We need a highly skilled HR professional to help us ensure that everyone is rewarded for their contributions and treated fairly. Within two years we will raise another round of capital and scale our mobile application to include fintech and digital payment capabilities that are blockchain-based and already coded into our mobile application. We will need sophisticated legal counsel with blockchain expertise so we comply with local and international laws when we introduce that new offering based on our existing global distribution channels.

We already have a number of individuals in our network who work within the organizations we would like to partner with that we will reach out to as soon as our app is live in the Google Play/Apple Stores and who could help us identify the right individuals to join our growing team. Several conversations have already started and we are pleased to share that we recently signed on Mpumi Nobiva, one of Oprah Winfrey's many adopted daughters, as a co-host; Sheikha Sheikha Al-Thani as another co-host; and Kuoth Wiel, one of the 8,000 lost children who survived genocide in Sudan. What we need next is a competent HR individual who can help us with compensation packages as we raise our seed/Series A rounds over the next 6-24 months. We have relationships with the founders of Acast, Spotify, Libsyn, Buzzsprout, and iHeartRadio as well as their investors and have already started reaching out to start a conversation around immediate collaboration. We are getting valuable feedback in helping us customize our technology platform so that it meets industry standards. We have spoken with our attorneys at Ellenoff Grossman & Schole regularly about our pivot into artificial intelligence and machine learning as our core technology and our desire to introduce blockchain capabilities at a large stage. They have filed all of our trademarks to date and advised on IP matters as appropriate. We are keeping an open dialogue with our existing investors while having exploratory conversations with potential new investors. 

The State of Women Podcast Network lies under the umbrella of Women Investing in Women Digital. SHEQ is the name of our mobile apps, which will be launching soon in Google Play and the Apple App Store. All of our team members are listed as independent contractors of Women Investing in Women Digital since 2014. 

We have approximately 20 people as part of our immediate solution team, including a legal team from Ellenoff Grossman & Schole who have been with us from day one. Everyone except me is an independent contractor; including our editorial team, graphic designers, technology solutions team of five members in India focused on mobile/artificial intelligence/machine learning, blockchain integrations, operations, and over 150 women podcasters who have signed content-sharing agreements in presenting their content on our platform. We have over 20 members on our global advisory team.    

Diversity is at the heart of our team, with our common denominator being the social and economic empowerment of women. 25 percent are LGBTQ, 50 percent are men including our angel investors, 95 percent are millennials. We are the change we seek for the rest of the planet: conscious, mission oriented, tenacious, dedicated, creative, compassionate, global, digitally savvy, and unapologetically unstoppable. Many of us have been collaborating since 2012 in building out what is now Women Investing in Women Digital, which was formed December 10, 2014. Our mobile app team has been integrating a blockchain-based back end since November 2017 so we all have a deep history working together remotely from around the globe. In building high-tech solutions for those who need them the most, we need input from our users, partners, collaborators, and content creators who we inherently consider as the most valued members of our extended team. We are adding their feedback on a regular basis and will start making live updates as soon as we are listed in the Google Play and Apple App Stores, which should happen by the end of June/early July 2020. Our designers are outstanding—many are based across Latin America—but our lead designer is a single mom based in Los Angeles who is helping us in publishing The World Women Report, which will be ready soon. Complementary skill sets are our core strength. Relentless grit and passion tends to be our collective "weakness."

We are currently working closely with She Podcasts, a community of over 16,000 women podcasters, in identifying new podcasts that are interested in being featured on our mobile app. We are partnered with Women in Artificial Intelligence, a network of over 4,000 female professionals in AI around the globe; and also Women in Analytics, which has over 14,000 female professionals around the globe focused on data science and with whom we hope to be even more active as our apps scale and grow. We are in discussions with Dr. Eva Muller Stuhler at IBM, currently exploring how we can partner with their internal women's initiatives and their broader technology solutions teams. We have produced large Summits in the past when we first started with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Intel, Wells Fargo, NASDAQ, INSEAD Global Private Equity Initiative, and various other corporate and institutional partners. Our strategy became digital in 2015, around the time we started producing our very first podcast, "Women Investing in Women and Girls," with VoiceAmerica Kids, Kidstar Radio Network, and Acast (based in Stockholm). We are currently exploring a broader collaboration with LibSyn, PodBean, and Pandora who would all be excellent global partners. We have initiated collaborations with MicroMentor/Mercy Corps, who has 100,000 dedicated business mentors globally and could be very helpful for our women podcasters aspiring to be micro-entrepreneurs by producing and monetizing their content and Springboard Enterprises for women entrepreneurs featured on our platform interested in raising capital for their innovations.  

For the past six years, we have been producing various types of content (mostly print, some video, some audio through our own podcasts) that have been shared widely on our Facebook news feed, which has been growing organically over time. We have not charged to be included in our newsletters, featured or our social or podcasts, or for speaking at our various events. Now that we have a global audience, we will start monetizing our social feeds through affiliate marketing programs and partner with mission-aligned brands wishing to feature their content/sponsored ads across our newsletters or social media. We are also in the process of publishing The World Women Report, which will be a quarterly magazine with a digital format that can be shared across various channels on our platform. Our mobile apps will have both freemium and premium options. We will charge for anyone wishing to access data and analytics from our back end, including podcasters and mission-oriented brands. We will likely partner with a variety of women-led small businesses in the near future who wish to offer their products as rewards for our listeners or underwrite podcasts that appeal to their target market as a way to reinvest their marketing dollars for women podcasters who are looking to earn income through their original content. We are creating a collective where women can both thrive and contribute their time, treasure, and talents. We believe our community as a whole—with its mission-driven core—will be the greatest value.

Our business has been purely digital for the past five years. We are ready to start monetizing our social media audience with the help of the right digital marketing experts, to monetize our newsletters and magazine through mission-oriented brands who wish to partner, and to offer premium services for podcasters and brands wishing to access data and analytics from our podcast listeners similar to what Spotify, iTunes, and iHeartRadio are already doing. We are also applying for any and all grants that are seeking to partner with platforms that are closely aligned.

I am a dreamer with the goal of partnering with other dreamers, plain and simple, which is why I am applying to Solve. I have been working on gender equality and global development related topics related to your Challenge for Women & Girls for almost twenty years now, so it would have been impossible not to finally apply. I see so many people who I love and admire who are already part of your community and who I would be honored to work with should our solution be selected, which is another aspect that piqued my interest. Solve could certainly help us raise our profile with individuals and communities with whom we are not already connected, and will help us impact and serve our target communities of women and girls more quickly—which will have life-changing consequences, especially for those who are already at risk. Our solution is global and the Solve community absolutely has everything that we could dream of and more in one place, not to mention individuals with integrity who share our values. We are ready to start collaborating with those who are extremely passionate about solving global poverty, inclusion, and gender equality. If there are gender-lens investors within the solve community we would love to meet them as we raise our seed round and develop relationships for our subsequent rounds. We are also seeking technical and strategic advisors from your broader MIT community. 

We would love to collaborate on a podcast series with MIT Solve focusing on women innovators, entrepreneurs, academics, influencers, investors, and members within your community that will be featured on The State of Women Podcast Network. We would also like to amplify the work of these women and outstanding men working on solutions that are empowering women in our World Women Report and across our various social media channels. Women Investing in Women Digital is interested in creating and disseminating content globally, which we have done for almost a decade. We would love to dive deeper into your community should we get selected and explore which organizations we can partner with immediately, which faculty members may have an interest in access our data and analytics, and reach out to technical experts who may have perspectives on how to make our solution more effective for the communities we are serving. 

We would like to develop partnerships with mobile app distribution companies, NGOs, technologists, and other solvers. These could be telco providers (T-Mobile, Telia, Telenor, Orasscom, JIO) you may have in your network, anyone at mobile phone companies (like Apple, Samsung, Vodaphone, etc.) or grassroots organizations who are looking for better communication tools for bridging the digital divide. We are also looking forward to collaborating with all-girls schools, colleges, and universities around the globe who may be interested in joining as beta testers. Data and analytics from this demographic across South Asia and the Middle East is of high personal interest given 50 percent of our global online community is from this part of the world. Women's health-focused educational content will be one of our core features on The State of Women Podcast Network, so any and all connections to healthcare partners would be of interest including WHO and academic research institutions. Faculty at MIT or initiatives focused on digital health, entrepreneurship, or women's empowerment would be fantastic. We would be delighted to collaborate on expanding our data/analytics approaches in developing metrics that can be useful to other academic institutions/researchers. Collaborations with the World Economic Forum or The United Nations would also be helpful since we are following their work closely, especially UNICEF's GIGA project. If there is ONE introduction that could help us reach our goals and beyond, it would be Lubna Olayan as we would love to scale The State of Women Podcast Network across the MENA Region. 

The State of Women Podcast Network aims to amplify the voices of women and girls, especially in giving voice to the voiceless. One of the core members of our Editorial Team is a young Sudanese refugee named Kuoth Wiel, who was one of the co-Stars of "The Good Lie" with Reese Witherspoon. We have featured Kuoth on Women Investing in Women & Girls Podcast in the past and have invited her to join our team in helping spearhead our content strategy. We have also featured Hazami Barmada, a Syrian Palestinian refugee, who has also recently launched her own podcast series Finding Humanity who we wish to include on our network. We would love to partner with the Andan Foundation on developing a Podcast Series that would serve as testimonials of refugee resilience, self-reliance, and integration that can be shared widely on social media and reach audiences well beyond our combined communities of influence. What better way to advance the economic, financial, and political inclusion of refugees when their stories are effectively shared with policy managers, government officials, business leaders, change makers and influencers who have the power to transform hearts and minds. Our team would be honored to partner with the Andan Foundation in furthering your goals should our solution be considered for The Andan Prize for Innovation in Refugee Inclusion. The State of Women Podcast Network is in our infancy. We would be delighted to expand on content strategy with your support and spotlight your great work going forward. 

The State of Women Podcast Network's core mission is to amplify the voices of women and girls and while empowering them throughout our entire platform. We would be thrilled to partner with Vodaphone Americas Foundation given that we are creating a mobile app solution that could potentially be potentially synergistic to their existing programs and initiatives focused on women and girls. From our standpoint, we will be improving the quality of life for women and girls by helping women podcasters and influencers broaden their distribution and potentially help them in securing sponsors as a result which is critical for these female micro-entrepreneur to both thrive and succeed. We aspire to encourage more women and girls to start their own podcasts so they can better advocate for themselves, causes they are passionate about, while listening to other podcasts focused on women's health, wellness, entrepreneurship, personal finance, investing, and professional development. No one has all the answers which is why we have been crowdsourcing awesome content from awesome women interested in sharing their voices to the masses. We have 990,000 followers on our Facebook News Feed already and aspire to continue sharing all of these brilliant podcasts throughout our social media, newsletters, and various channels on our global platform. We believe we have what it takes to become a dominant player in the podcast industry which has been booming since April 2020 and would love to partner with Vodaphone Americas Foundation should the opportunity present itself through MIT SOLVE. 

We would love to collaborate on a Podcast Series with GM focusing on women engineers, business leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, academics, influencers, investors, and members within your community that will be featured on The State of Women Podcast Network. We would also like to amplify the work of these women and outstanding men working on solutions that are empowering women in our World Women Report and across our various social media channels. Women Investing in Women DIGITAL is interested in creating and disseminating content, globally which we have done for almost a decade. We would love to dive deeper into GM's focus on STEM education for women and girls and other initiatives they are backing that have a focus on the world's most vulnerable girls and women. Should we get selected for the GM Prize on Learning for Girls and Women, made possible by General Motors, we would be delighted to meet with senior executives to explore how we may be able to best scale our solution in addressing target demographics both within and outside their organization. There are multiple ways that we may all be able to collaborate given our mutual interest in advancing women in tech and girls in STEM, especially if they have an interest in deep tech, blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine learning or data science and analytics.  

The State of Women Podcast Network aims to offer a learning alternative for women and girls wishing to deepen their knowledge about personal finance, health, wellness, entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, world affairs and other topics that will not only increase literacy rates but also advance inclusive economic growth through upskilling and greater digital literacy. Our podcasts are currently all in English however we have the capability to easily add podcasts produced in Portugese onto our existing network through our built in personalized content algorithms. We would be delighted to create a future pilot in Portugal where women and girls can not only learn about how to produce their own podcasts using their mobile phones but also in monetizing their content through our global digital distribution platform. We would be interested in partnering with your Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, and any other NGO's on relevant academic partners who may be interested in data and analytics that we will be collecting from our listeners behaviors that may be helpful in creating better policies and programs especially as it relates to increasing literacy for women and girls. Our mobile app can be used as a measurement tool for gathering sociographic and demographic data while we customize a solution for creating a dedicated Podcast Series around the goals, outstanding leaders, and passionate social entrepreneurs supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, We would be delighted to get started immediately should our solution be selected for The Gulbenkian Foundation Award for Adult Literacy. 

We are creating a radio network leveraging AI/ML unlike any existing web/mobile based platforms POWERED by women and millennials; starting with a global audience of 1,000,000 followers on Facebook, globally.  We are in dialogues now with FaceBook South Asia and various distribution partners   in expanding our digital reach. Our current technology platform (htp://www.thestateofwomen.com) was created by ex-iHeart Radio and Clear Channel Digital technology experts. We have also partnered with Women in AI, a global network of over 4,000 women in artificial intelligence working in over 115 countries and SHE PODCASTS, a network of 10,000 women podcasters. Our product development team in India currently finishing our digital APP that will be available in Android and iOS by the end of June to address the needs of the poorest of the poor in India, many of whom are women and girls who cannot read. We are working on a conversational AI application (think SIRI) that will be able to share original content produced in local languages by women and girls who are currently working on the front-lines in solving their greatest challenges. Our technology is both simple and scalable and can be enabled using basically any smart phone available using MP4 file sharing. Most importantly we are already in dialogues with IBM, Karolinska Institute, and other change-makers and high-impact-oriented youth who are working on the front-lines who are in an excellent position to share our digital resources, globally. Our solution is focused on education for all and health for all with a gender lens using artificial intelligence and machine learning that will gather analytics that will be helpful in designing effective policies and programming based on hard data. We firmly believe that when women win everyone wins given that we are the primary caregivers in the majority of households, making 85% of consumer decisions, and reinvesting 70% back into our communities. The time is NOW to start backing innovations using artificial intelligence designed by women with a focus on empowering and educating women and girls who have been traditionally left out of the innovation ecosystem. The AI for Humanity Prize will absolutely elevate the profile of our new mobile app while amplifying our impact in the near future. One thing we all learned during quarantine and lockdown during our global COVID-19 response is that knowledge is power and in some instances effective communication is the difference between life and or death. Through our data and analytics we will be able to track demographic and socio-graphic data along with geolocating capabilities to see where our apps are most effective which will be critical in future to better understanding our target audiences. Should we be considered for the AI for Humanity Prize, we would like to initiate a Podcast Series around the work of The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation featuring outstanding programs and initiatives that you already support that would be of interest to our global community that can also be an effective communication tool that can be shared across your various digital mediums. We look forward to collaborating with your organization and MIT Solve in improving the lives of individuals and our global community through our information technology and mobile solutions.

Women Investing in Women DIGITAL has a global news feed reaching 990,000 FB followers which can be easily amplified with the right digital marketing experts which we are in the process of recruiting. As soon as we launch our mobile apps for The State of Women Podcast Network on Google Play and in the Apple Store, we will have the potential to influence billions of listeners around the planet with the right partnerships and institutional support. Future Planet Capital would be an ideal partner if they are seeking initiatives that are focused on women and girls, financial inclusion, global health equity that have a strong focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning, data and analytics, and blockchain. We would be delighted to continue any further due diligence required if we are a right fit for the Future Planet Capital Prize.
