Coffee & Coworking for Female Founders
Calling all women who are building something! Grab your laptop, your to-do list, and your most ambitious ideas, because we're taking over Avotoasty in the Financial District for a morning of getting things done together.
Working alone is great until it isn't. Maybe you've been staring at the same pitch deck for three days, or you've been talking to your cat about your business strategy a little too much. Come sit at a table with other women who get it, and let the good energy carry you through your morning.
How the morning works
10:00am Hellos. Grab a coffee from the counter if you'd like and meet who's around. Share one thing you can help with and one thing you need.
10:30am Heads-down coworking. Knock out emails, hammer out a fundraising plan, or finally ship that thing. Smart people are nearby when you want a second opinion on your logo or your launch date.
12:30pm One win, one goal. Share what you got done and what's next, then go celebrate.
✨ Free product office hours with Jacky
Not sure what to build next? Drowning in a backlog, or a feature list that keeps growing? Bring it. Jacky will sit down with you for 15 minutes to prioritize what matters, cut what doesn't, and set a clear goal for your next release. Spots are limited, so grab one when you RSVP.
Whether you're sketching your first idea on a napkin or you're years into running your company, you're welcome here. Bring a friend, a cofounder, or that founder you've been meaning to introduce yourself to. New faces make the room better.
Your host is Jacky Minkler, a product manager and former designer for nearly 20 years, and founder of Novara and Hollis. She put this together so more women founders in San Francisco have a fun, low-pressure spot to work, swap stories, and celebrate wins big and small.
Good to know: the event is free. Food and drinks aren't included, but Avotoasty's counter is right there if you get hungry.
No pitching, no pressure. Come ready to make a dent in your list. We'll save you a seat!
