Good morning! Subscription site Passes is sued for child pornography, Serena Williams joins Toronto Tempo's ownership team, and Anu Duggal is behind some of your favorite female-founded startups.
- Investing with impact. Even if you don't know Anu Duggal's name, if you read this newsletter, you're definitely familiar with her impact. Duggal's firm Female Founders Fund has over the past decade backed some of the most influential female-founded startups: Rent the Runway, wedding platform Zola, razor and personal care brand Billie, and the women's health unicorn Maven.
I wrote about Duggal, the founding partner of Female Founders Fund, for the first in a new series of profiles of women in tech rolling out in Fortune over the next few weeks. We chatted about her circuitous route to venture capital—she grew up between Hong Kong, New York, Manila, and Tokyo and quit her early consulting job to travel and go to cooking school. Later, she opened India's first wine bar and worked on a Bollywood dance tech platform.
