Navigating VCs as a Female Founder
Solo female founders received 2.2% of VC funding in the first half of 2024. There has been little to no change in this depressing statistic over the past few years. What must female founders do today to be recognized and taken seriously by VCs? Join Berkeley SkyDeck, Wareham Development, the Berkeley Startup Cluster and Women Entrepreneurs of Berkeley for a candid panel featuring Bridgette Smith (Investor, Chair of SkyDeck's DEI Committee), Jill Fuss (Managing Director, Activate Berkeley), Alice Agogino (CEO of Squishy Robotics & UC Berkeley professor) and Dr. Maria Artunduaga (CEO of Samay) and moderated by Sibyl Chen (General Manager, SkyDeck) as they discuss the challenges they've experienced over the past few years, lessons learned, and observed trends in fundraising. This event is hosted by Berkeley SkyDeck, Wareham Development, Berkeley Startup Cluster and Women Entrepreneurs of Berkley
