Cultivating relationships between entrepreneurs and capital providers is a pillar of a successful entrepreneurial ecosystem, and encouraging women to start businesses and to invest in them increases the visibility of women throughout the vibrant investment community across New York state, ultimately contributing to narrowing the gender gap in finance and entrepreneurship.
Women, Money & Tech will showcase dynamic discussions around why gender gaps exist in business, finance and tech, and what is happening to change the status quo. During the networking portion of the event, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with investors, executives, advisors and other business professionals in meaningful and valuable ways.
All are welcome. Complimentary food and drink will be served. Please RSVP.
