We'll be offering forty 1:1 office hour slots with 10 female VC partners from Benchmark, Canaan, Cowboy, Forerunner, Freestyle, Lux, Sequoia, and Reach. There will also be a talk by two former female founders-turned-VCs on how to fundraise, based on their experiences from both sides of the table. The event is also a great opportunity for female founders to meet, mingle, and share advice with one another. Our goal is for every female founder to walk away with a bit of advice from some female investors and a few new female founder friends that they can count on.
