Today the House voted on a bill to protect access to contraception. Almost entirely thanks to Democrats, it passed. 194 House Republicans opposed it. It’s 2022. How are they opposed to access to birth control?

If you find yourself competing with someone who could be described as an opportunist, you don't have to worry much. Opportunists, almost by definition, lack staying power. Usually all you have to do is keep going, and they'll fall away.

This. Is. Awesome. Let's be clear.... Fundraising in a pandemic is horrific, crazy hard work but exiting your #startup in that time? 🤯 Phenomenal and SO well deserved! ♥

An acquisition is always impressive but knowing just some of what went into making this one happen makes it far more so. Bravo Phoebe!

Thanks James! 😬
Had my first chance to review @HeyBrolly journey before adding them to marketplace. Have to say: Bloody bravo. I think there’s some great stuff there for the contents product. Insurance change is a slog so I know what @phoebe must have climbed to do this. Kudos.

Ok I don’t normally do this but the experience was just too good. Signed up to @HeyBrolly app and had contents and away from home insurance in less than 7 minutes. Intuitive UI with slider bars for level of acceptable risk vs premium incl excess. – at Islington, London
