We are thrilled to share the success of our first FoundHERs & FundHERs event, held in partnership with NaviAI and Key to Web3 during the Consensus conference in Austin – the last one in this vibrant city!
📈 Despite women owning and operating 40% of businesses in the US, they receive only 2% of venture funding. This pressing issue brought together over 100 passionate individuals for a powerful discussion.
💼 Our Esteemed Sponsors: Unlock Protocol, Blockchain Foundation, Unstoppable Domains, Wursta.
🎤 Our Inspiring Panelists:
- Tina Dai
- Sandy Carter
- Deanna Wursta
- Maika Isogawa
These incredible leaders, including two investors and two founders, shared their insights on the challenges, opportunities, and experiences faced by women in the industry.
Key Takeaways:
- Community Building: If you don’t find a community that fits you, create one. Your initiative can inspire and connect others.
- Prioritizing Self-Care: Recognize that no one is at their 100% best every day. It’s okay to pause and take care of yourself when needed.
- Seizing Opportunities: Being in the right place at the right time, and being open to new opportunities, can be game-changing.
- Supporting Each Other: Creating opportunities to connect or highlight people in your network and open doors for others.
🌟 Upcoming Events: We are excited to continue this conversation at other crypto conferences this year:
- 🤠 BTC Nashville
- 🏔 ETH Toronto/Futurist Conference
- ⛷ Permissionless in SLC Utah
- 🍷 Web Summit Lisbon
Get Involved! We are currently seeking:
❕ Venues for each of the above events (our biggest need)
❕ Sponsors (low-cost, high visibility)
❕ Investors and Founders for each panel (topics will vary slightly for each event)
