970 Kristin Thomas: Amplifying Women’s Success
So many truly inspiring female leaders and entrepreneurs are “succeeding in silence”—their myriad accomplishments scattered and submerged in press releases, newsletters, or fleeting social media feeds, caught in an algorithmic neverland.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Kristin Thomas saw a pressing need to centralize the work of the most impressive women among us, in a searchable and AI-powered platform and public-facing portfolio accessible to anyone—event coordinators, journalists, hiring teams, and especially young women seeking role models. Marble Collective ingests interviews, podcasts, books, articles and more, to share the inspiring stories of exceptional female founders, scientists, C-suite executives, industry pioneers, coaches, authors and more.
Kristin, a serial real estate entrepreneur who built a real estate investment business and a luxury Manhattan brokerage, shares how she raised a funding round exclusively from 70 women investors. Now going live with 3,300 founding members, Marble is a freemium subscription service with paid tiers to make these stories accessible both to aspiring professionals and those seeking deeper engagement. It puts inspiring journeys and recommendations at your fingertips, preserving not just the headlines, but the whole growth story behind every success.
