Women Tech Meetup: Raising On Your Terms
San Francisco! Calling all female founders, allies, friends and partners!
Let’s be real — fundraising isn’t one-size-fits-all. And for women founders? The rules aren’t just different — they’re nonexistent.
That’s why we’re bringing together a powerhouse room of female founders, funders, and operators to talk about raising capital your way.
We'll be talking about:
- Navigating bias and owning your narrative
- Fundraising strategies that actually work in 2025
- Finding aligned investors (and walking away when it’s not right)
- Stories from the frontlines of the cap table
And we'll be gathering at a gorgeous Withum office space with a view in downtown San Francisco.
