Female Founder & Investor Happy Hour
🌟 Female Founder & Investor Happy Hour
Join us for an evening bringing together women founders and women investors shaping the future of venture and innovation.
On Wed, April 22nd, we’re hosting a relaxed happy hour with Jamie Moy of Lighter Capital, Stephanie Rieben, CEO & Cofounder of Diadem Capital, and Oriana Fuentes, alongside an incredible group of founders, operators, and investors building the next generation of companies.
This gathering is about more than networking — it’s about proximity, community, and shared ambition. The rooms we build together matter. When women support women in building and funding companies, the entire ecosystem changes.
Expect meaningful conversations, new connections, and a space designed for women who are actively building, backing, and shaping what comes next.
✨ Founders
✨ Investors
✨ Operators supporting the innovation economy
Come raise a glass, expand your network, and spend time with women who are building the future of tech and capital.
