In the last five years, we’ve seen advancements in areas like AI and blockchain, presenting unparalleled opportunities for growth.
With just 15% of tech startup founders being female, women remain significantly underrepresented in the startup ecosystem. In 2022, 77% of VC investments in AI startups went to male-only founded companies. A recent PwC report highlighted the obstacles faced by women when fundraising and shared 5 ways to overcome them.
Join us for an interesting panel discussion with lunch provided from 12 pm and the panel starting at 12:30 pm.
