˜▾˜🪩 Founders, Funders, and Community Builders in town for #sftechweek:
🍷 Come join an esteemed group of founders and funders across industry verticals from early - growth stages between events on Friday afternoon from 2-5pm as we wine(d) down a wonderful week!
🎤 Hosted by an incredible group of women-led founders, funders, and ecosystem builders—from the Bay Area and across the country—together with the communities and teams that support mission-driven technology, we’re excited to gather at Cultivar in Ghirardelli Square. We’ll be showcasing local and visiting founding teams, builders, and investors, while also taking time to relax and connect in a beautiful setting.
🧀 Small bites will be served with flights, soft drinks, and light bites/ menu available. 🥂
💸 Why this matters more than ever:
Female founded businesses represent $1.8 trillion in revenue and the percentage of small businesses owned by women is up 27% year-over-year....and yet:
✧ Women receive only 2.7% of venture funding
✧ Women are ½ as likely as men to receive an SBA loan
✧ VCs tend to fund businesses they feel connected to, with women making up just over 10% of investors
👉 Let's make capital access equal for all by building community and doing our part to bring talented teams, founders, and funders together
