From witnessing economic disenfranchisement to pioneering a platform that uplifts women during life's critical moments, Gerry Poirier journey is nothing short of inspiring. As the founder of AngelLink, Gerry shares how her financial background propelled her to create this unique crowdfunding platform, designed and powered by women to cater specifically to their needs. With women comprising 70% of users on crowdfunding platforms, AngelLink not only addresses basic human needs like medical costs and funerals but also aims to tap into the $3 trillion opportunity gap for women entrepreneurs.
