Built on Sisterhood

Working together as sisters has always been our greatest strength. From the beginning, our closeness felt like something rare — a bond so natural and unshakable that it gave us the confidence to take risks, trust our instincts, and build lives that didn’t need to follow a traditional path.

We’ve always known that this connection was unique. It felt like more than just a gift to us — it felt like a responsibility. If we could channel the power of our sisterhood into something bigger, maybe other women could feel it too. Because life shifts in extraordinary ways when you know someone is beside you, fully invested in your success and your joy.

Our dynamic works because of both similarity and difference. As big sister and younger sister, we share the same taste, the same vision, and the same values. That keeps us moving in sync. But our skill sets and perspectives are slightly different, which means we approach situations from complementary angles. One of us zooms out, while the other zooms in. One of us leans into intuition, while the other grounds it in strategy. Together, we see things more fully than we ever could alone.

That balance has been our anchor in every season of life. It has allowed us to create stability while moving between cities, to adapt quickly, and to keep saying yes to opportunities that pushed us. And it’s what ultimately shaped the foundation of Pontoon.

Pontoon is an extension of that bond. It’s a platform built by sisters, designed to create the same kind of unwavering support for women everywhere. Because not everyone has a sister by blood, but every woman deserves to feel the strength of sisterhood — the kind that fuels courage, multiplies opportunity, and makes the world feel just a little more like home.
