WOMEN OWNING IT FROM THE START I: AN EVENING WITH EMERGING STARTUP FOUNDERS

Free & open to public!

Building a business but feeling like the only woman in the room? Looking for a space to celebrate your accomplishments & contributions? Needing to hear from other ladies crushing it on the daily?

Women Owning It is a celebration of women in media & tech killin' it in their fields & owning their space in the industry.

For our second event in this series, we've invited emerging startup founders from Gen Y to talk about how they've built their businesses. The terrain of media & tech industries is in constant flux & with it, the terrain of business development. Our panel of five women will provide the heads up you need to build your business with an eye to the times. They'll discuss funding opportunities, the art of the pitch, the importance of your network & more before we open the floor to your questions. Our hope is that attendees leave this evening session reinvigorated & feel empowered to build their businesses, brands & billable hours.

Panelists are:

Lisbeth Kaufman (KitSplit), Kristina Budelis (KitSplit), Erum Khan (SoundMind), Alex Serio (Nameless Network) & more to be announced!
