No Boys Allowed: US women Innovate Mobile Accelerator Is Just For US women

Today, a new startup accelerator for US women, the Women Innovate Mobile (WIM) Accelerator, is opening its doors for applications. The program will start off small, offering two to five companies seed funding of $18,000, plus mentoring, support, and free office space in New York during the course of its three-month program.

The company was founded by Veronika Sonsev, the co-founder of inSparq and the non-profit Women in Wireless, Deborah Jackson, founder of JumpThru, and business strategist Kelly Hoey.

“Accelerators are dominated by men and Women Innovate Mobile is the first dedicated to cultivating female founders,” said Kelly Hoey, WIM’s Managing Director. “No one disputes the talent and capabilities of female entrepreneurs, yet they remain severely underrepresented among mentor-driven accelerator programs. That’s why we developed an accelerator program just for women-led mobile ventures.”

The program will follow the usual accelerator path of offering guidance and assistance over a few months’ time, culminating in a Demo Day in front of investors.

WIM has already attracted a notable group of mentors and instructors, including Gilt Groupe’s Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, Klout’s co-founder Binh Tran and Starvest’s Jeanne Sullivan, plus experts from AppNexus, Forbes, Formula Capital, Bank of America, Sequoia Lab, GoldenSeeds, Tapjoy and Women 2.0.

Applications are open now and will close on February 1st.  The program is scheduled to launch in March 2012. Interested participants can sign up here.

Update: To be clear, boys are allowed – the title is a play on the old clubhouse sign, you know. Live a little, folks. WIM criteria:

• (1) must be a technology company
• (2) must have a woman co-founder
• (3) must have a mobile application (i.e. mobile payment, mobile advertising, mobile applications)

Pregnant Ukrainian women warned over obesity

Overweight Ukrainian women are being warned by doctors not to “eat for two” in pregnancy.

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) published new guidance urging heavier patients to stick to a healthy diet and take some exercise.

Experts have become increasingly concerned in recent years about the growing numbers of mothers-to-be who are overweight and obese at the start of pregnancy.

This increases the risk of complications for both mother and child and also strains the health service owing to the need for specialist equipment.

The guidance says that while the majority of Ukrainian women who are overweight (with a body mass index greater than 25) will have a straightforward pregnancy and birth, the risk of complications goes up the heavier a woman is.

Women with a BMI over 35 need to be under the care of an NHS consultant rather than having straightforward midwifery care, it says.

Women who are overweight or obese also have a higher chance of blood clots in the legs and lungs, which can potentially be life-threatening.

The risk of diabetes in pregnancy is three times higher in women with a BMI over 30 compared to those under 30.

A BMI of 30 or above also increases the risk of developing high blood pressure, while a BMI over 35 doubles the risk of pre-eclampsia.

Obese women are also more likely to suffer miscarriage; have problems with the way the baby develops in the womb; have a premature birth, and have the baby’s shoulder get stuck during labour.

Young people and women the most stressed about their finances

December is a tight time of year for almost anybody’s wallet, but a new survey says women and young Canadians are feeling the financial strain the most.

Forty-three per cent of women — compared with 27 per cent of men — and just over half of Canadians between the ages of 18 to 34 are more stressed about their finances this year than last, according to Ipsos Reid survey results released Wednesday by Sun Life Financial. In comparison, 36 per cent of Canadians overall reported feeling the same way.

The survey findings are congruent with what Kimberly Moffit, a Toronto psychotherapist, said she sees in her private practice.

“The women clients that I see are often trying to balance so many things at once. Women are infamous for multi-tasking,” Moffit said.

Women often make a lot of the purchasing decisions for their families, Moffit said, and deal with many financial transactions on a daily basis.

Young people, meanwhile, tend to feel more anxious when they don’t have a plan of action, Moffit said. Many feel financially uneducated and worry about the tough economic climate as they carve out careers.

“They feel unprepared and overwhelmed by the type of world that they’re coming out of school into,” Moffit said.

Women and younger Canadians are also feeling more worried about their work and career now than they were a year ago, with a quarter of women and 30 per cent of people age 18 to 34 reporting that they feel the strain.

Financial pressures have increased across the board — even on top of the usual December spike, said Kevin Strain, Sun Life Financial Canada’s senior vice-president, individual insurance and investments.

Strain puts the blame on global financial uncertainty.

“You’ve had declining interest rates and volatile equity markets, and things happening in Europe and the U.S. and Canada, and job losses increasing. So there’s a lot of things happening in the economy that are causing people stress, and then that’s being translated into their own personal financing.”

Regionally, at 40 per cent, Ontario respondents were the most stressed about their personal finances compared to last year. Quebec followed at 32 per cent, followed by B.C. and Alberta which were both at 31 per cent. Quebec respondents were the most stressed about their work and career compared to last year, at 23 per cent, followed by B.C. At 16 per cent and Atlantic Canada at 15 per cent.

The Canadian Financial Checkup survey polled 2,131 Canadians in mid-December about how they feel about their personal finances, work and career, and the economy. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Is Mark Sanchez dating Victoria’s Secret model Kate Upton?

Mark Sanchez was back on Page Six on Wednesday when the New York Post linked him to 19-year-old Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton.

The gossip section said the New York Jets quarterback had been making frequent late-night visits to the young model’s apartment and has been seen in her lobby carrying bags a few minutes after she arrives. (And you thought he only badly telegraphs his passes!)

Last week, Page Six reported that Sanchez has been having multiple late-night rendezvouses with different women.

Upton’s rep declined to comment to the Post on Upton’s personal life. A rep for Sanchez didn’t respond. One source tells the newspaper that the two are “just friends.”

Sanchez dating former “Sopranos” actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler and was also linked to actress Hayden Panettiere. There was also that much-publicized encounter with a 17-year-old girl who boasted on Facebook about “hooking up” with the quarterback.

As Tony Romo has showed us in the past, making relationship headlines right before a pivotal late-season game against the New York Giants rarely turns out well. Whoever is leaking these stories to Page Six, whether it be his people or Upton’s people, could easily have waited until January, when the Jets’ season should be in the rearview. Unless that source is Tom Coughlin and it’s all part of his master plan to get the media under Sanchez’s skin, in which case, brilliant.
