Here’s what resonated with the Ellevest community this past year: the conversations you joined, the things you learned, the stories you bookmarked, and the moments you celebrated.

We had a pretty busy year, too — our mission is to help get more money in the hands of women+, so when the pandemic hit we knew we had to go into overdrive and stay there. In 2020, we launched a membership that includes digital investing, learning, and coaching — and then added an Android app. And on the Private Wealth Management side, we expanded the Ellevest Intentional Impact Portfolios for our private wealth clients to add a racial justice lens.

No matter what happens in 2021, we don’t intend on letting up the pace. Whether you’re new to this community, or you’ve been with us for the whole wild ride — thank you for being here. And let me know what you’d like to see next year; I’m sallie@ellevest.com.
