Ad Astra Ventures Manifesto: Our modern business world discounts leadership characteristics and patterns that look different from traditional, typically masculine styles.&nbsp; This has led to women who start businesses to be significantly overlooked, underestimated and undervalued. We believe this to be the root cause of the abysmal lack of funding for women-led businesses. We aim to address this by providing women the tools, insights, and frameworks to lead authentically. Through our work, we aim to establish new leadership norms that stand alongside those that exist today. Through highlighting and amplifying women founders, we will be an active voice in changing the face of leadership.

AnaOno is the Women's Fast Pitch Northeast Finalist&nbsp;
About AnaOno: Choosing AnaOno means choosing, Boob-Inclusion, founded for all chests, one breast, two breasts, no breasts, or new breasts. Everyone should get the opportunity to thrive through all stages of life. Founded by a breast cancer survivor, Dana Donofree wanted something more than just a basic mastectomy bra, so she designs fashionable yet functional solutions. Our bras are crafted with care, wire-free and made of softer-than-cotton modal material. Our designs include special features like no molded cups, plus have feminine details and pretty silhouettes for the beauty that we all crave. Designing pretty bras and creating post-surgical solutions isn&rsquo;t our only strength. We also provide support to empower our community to live their lives to the fullest beyond breast surgery or a cancer diagnosis. We're here to help every step of the way from recovery to life beyond, with styles for mastectomies, reconstruction, radiation, lumpectomy, asymmetry, and breast surgery.&nbsp;

Nailstry is the Women's Fast Pitch Southeast Finalist&nbsp; About Nailstry: Nailstry is a precision fingernail sizing technology that utilizes AI to simplify the press-on nail shopping experience. &nbsp;We are solving the problem of press-on nail sizing, as box sets provide standard sizes and excess nails which are inefficient and wasteful, and custom press-on nail designers send out sizing kits or ask customers to self measure which delays the overall shopping process and is inaccurate. Nailstry saves brands money and reduces waste by eliminating the need for sizing kits and excess nails that get thrown away.
