Female Founders and Funders Walk

​Get ready to lace up your sneakers!

​Female Founders and Funders Walk with Venturous Counsel will take place December 11th from 2:30pm until 4:30pm. There’s no formal agenda, no stuffy presentations, no awkward standing-around-with-drinks situations – just a casual stroll through one of SF's most beautiful elevated parks while having real conversations with other like-minded women and woman-identifying founders and funders in the startup world.

​We can’t wait for some great conversations and new connections! If you haven’t had the chance to join us at one of our previous walks, we hope to see you there for this one!

​Additional details:

​You’ll need to take the elevators/escalators to the 4th level or ride the gondola up (it's free, but sometimes has a line). We’ll meet by the amphitheater stage on the southwest end of the park (the opposite side from the coffee shop, brewery, and food area). We’ll gather there for intros before heading out on the walking path around 2:45 PM.
