In this special episode of The AI Chicks, presented in media partnership with TechCon, Lana Hout and Aisha Corpas Wynn sit down with Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, co-founder of Emmeline Ventures, to explore the next wave of AI-driven wealth creation and what it means for founders, investors, and everyday professionals.
As a venture capitalist investing in transformative companies across women’s health, fintech, and emerging technologies, Lakeisha shares her perspective on how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, redefining opportunity, and creating entirely new pathways to economic empowerment. Together, they unpack whether AI will become the great equalizer—or further widen existing gaps—and what individuals can do today to position themselves on the right side of this technological shift.
The conversation dives into the mindset shifts required to thrive in the AI era, the evolving investment landscape, and why innovation demands diverse voices at the decision-making table. Lakeisha also shares insights on how entrepreneurs—especially women and underrepresented founders—can identify opportunities, attract capital, and build lasting value in an AI-powered economy.
Recorded in collaboration with TechCon, one of Southern California’s premier technology and innovation conferences, this episode highlights the leaders, investors, and visionaries shaping the future of AI, entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies. Through this partnership, The AI Chicks continues its mission of making high-level AI conversations accessible, actionable, and inclusive for innovators at every stage of their journey.
Whether you’re a founder, investor, creator, or simply curious about where AI is headed next, this conversation will challenge you to think bigger about what’s possible—and how to claim your place in the next wave of wealth creation.
