Women in Entrepreneurship Series: Building & Scaling: The Operator Reality
Join us for “Building & Scaling: The Operator Reality”- an intimate, fireside-style conversation with early- and growth-stage female founders.
This session dives into what it actually takes to grow a startup beyond the idea stage. From hiring your first team and navigating fundraising to finding product-market fit and avoiding burnout, our speakers will share the real and unfiltered challenges of building over time.
✨As a sneak peak of what's to come, you will hear from...
Karina Nguyen on why she stepped away from OpenAI and Anthropic to start her own venture.
Maria Artunduaga on what it took to build Samay over 7+ years to become Colombia’s Best Startup ’25.
Mabel Chan on what it's like as a female founder building communities for other female founders.
The panel will be followed by casual mingling with the speakers, StartX team, and VC guests.
‼️Free snacks and drinks will be provided!‼️
