Founders of women's health startups feel doubly invested in this election, one of the closest presidential races of the century. They said another Trump victory creates uncertainty for reproductive health startups, from period trackers to online abortion clinics to embryo banks. For startup Julie, the legal status of emergency contraception is the "million dollar question of this election," said Amanda E/J Morrison. Trump's waffling on reproductive rights has put founders of women's health startups on notice. For some founders of women's health startups, this election is more than a political contest; it has ramifications for their livelihoods.

The 31-year-old ended a 40-year-drought for the U.S. by placing first in the women's road race; she also took home the women's track cycling team pursuit gold. "I needed an outdoors fix," Faulkner told NBC News, recalling how she signed up for an introductory women's cycling clinic in Central Park. In her first year of competitive cycling, Faulkner earned just $7,000. Another reason Faulkner wanted to continue working in venture capital was so she'd have at least 5 years of professional experience before taking a hiatus. She's also committed to advocating for equality in women's cycling, noting that while salaries have improved, there's still a long way to go.

Last week, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Bloomberg that such speculation was "wide of the mark." Several entrepreneurs and investors have warned that the U.K. could face an exodus of technology entrepreneurs as a result of the reported tax changes. Calling the government's plan on capital gains tax the "biggest" issue for entrepreneurs, Stebbings said: "I know fewer entrepreneurs will be here. Not everyone agrees that capital gains tax shouldn't be increased to raise public finances. The analysis found that capital gains tax was not a primary driver of investment decisions, with entrepreneurs more focused on issues like access to financing, market opportunities and broader economic conditions.

First, higher interest rates will reward savers, making it more expensive to take risks. And with interest rates so low, companies could suddenly load up on debt: From 2007 to 2017, global nonfinancial corporate debt doubled, to $66 trillion. Now, with the arrival of a new supercycle, money managers are once again being forced to adapt to a changing set of economic realities. Normally, when the Fed hikes interest rates rapidly, the stock market tanks. Rising interest rates will make loans more expensive, forcing businesses to make more-thoughtful decisions about debt.
