"If you read one book about women in business, Alpha Girls should be the one."
-Peter Diamandis, New York Times Bestselling Author, Founder & Executive Chairman of XPRIZE
How do women, through grit & ingenuity, become stars in the cutthroat, high-stakes, male-dominated world of venture capital in Silicon Valley to help build some of the foremost companies of our time?
Alpha Girls: The Women Upstarts Who Took on Silicon Valley's Male Culture & Made the Deals of a Lifetime takes readers behind closed doors to follow the lives & careers of women who were largely written out of history - until now. Through their experiences juggling work & family, the featured leaders & others continue to shape the tech landscape we know today while overcoming unequal pay, literal punches, betrayals, & the sexist attitudes prevalent in Silicon Valley & male-dominated industries. Despite setbacks, they have rewritten the rules for an industry they love, paving the way for the next generation of women along the way.
Award-winning journalist Julian Guthrie will share unforgettable stories of women who, through grit & ingenuity, became stars in the cutthroat, high-stakes, male dominated world of venture capital in Silicon Valley, & helped build some of the foremost companies of our time. Joining her will be Alpha Girl & venture partner Sonja Hoel Perkins & seasoned executive Abe Kleinfeld to share their experiences as a male/female team who challenge stereotypes as they guide Silicon Valley companies to awards for innovation & employee satisfaction & multi-million dollars exits. Join us for a powerful conversation moderated by Alpha Girl & early Tesla investor Laurie Yoler with book author Julian Guthrie & ultimate power duo Sonja Hoel & Abe Kleinfield.
Books will be selling copies of Alpha Girls before & after the program.
This event will be streamed live on our Facebook page.
