SXSW 2019
All the Founding Ladies: Building Community
Description:
Female founders have the same challenges as all start-up founders...and then some. It's no secret that women-led companies receive just 2% of venture capital, yet deliver better returns. And women of color receive even less -- just .2% of venture investments. So, what do we do?
In this session, we'll discuss why and how organizations and leaders can support female founders through community building online and offline. We don't level the playing field -- we create a whole new one.
All are welcome.
