It's Here! A gift registry for startup founders founded by women entrepreneurs in Pittsburgh :-)

I can't remember where I saw this, but this is a great idea. It's a gift registry for colleagues, friends and family to support startup founders when writing "angel" checks is not an option. Need money for marketing campaigns? Maybe your family can contribute $25 towards the cost. How about an office chair? Maybe your colleague wants to support you by contributing to purchasing it. FROM THEIR WEBSITE:"We're changing the way communities show up for people they care about.If you can ask for a gravy boat when you're getting married, you should be able to ask for stuff when you're starting a business too. We love weddings and housewarmings and baby showers and all the celebrations that go along with each of those things. We love the traditions that let us celebrate the personal milestones in our lives, which is why we want something to celebrate professional successes as well.Shine Registry hosts profiles of businesses and their founders with wedding registry-style lists of the stuff that they need to succeed professionally. Founders ask for support while they are starting their businesses and give their communities an opportunity to show that support in meaningful and substantive ways.To support someone with a Shine Registry profileSimply select items and actions from their list of asks and click the "Fulfill!" button at the bottom of the page. Then fill out your contact information so the person with a profile can get in touch with you. You can see how many people have given to each profile with our counters for the number of Advocates and the number of Actions Taken."MORE IN THIS ARTICLE: https://www.cmu.edu/news/stories/archives/2018/september/shine-registry.html"Through the Shine Registry platform, women starting businesses create registries of products and services they need to get their enterprise off the ground. Items requested on the registry may be small, like office supplies or Instagram follows, or they might be big, like pro-bono web development, marketing or legal help."ANOTHER ARTICLE: https://www.post-gazette.com/business/tech-news/2019/05/23/Women-aren-t-landing-VC-dollars-but-Shine-Registry-offers-another-way-to-help-businesswomen/stories/201905220012?fbclid=IwAR0VSoNltFAM7Olgk0A9M9H3IGB3VSOTLnQ4QYWPpmqLZWPsBC7aUfvBsqE
