“The session caliber was remarkable. It was empowering to be able to converse with founders in similar situations to ours and hear directly from top tier venture firms and investment banks about how to successfully navigate the fundraising process,” said Trisha Bright, founder and CEO of an early stage social impact startup. “I gained valuable insights and a number of important new contacts that can help accelerate my entrepreneurial journey.”
The one-day events are aimed to provide an intense form of education, networking, and empowerment for female founders and leaders looking to scale their companies. The next one-day event will be held in Amsterdam at the offices of Deloitte on June 13, 2017. New York will follow on August 15, 2017 and will be hosted at Nasdaq Marketsite in Times Square.
