🎬 Together, we’re breaking barriers! 🍿 Thanks to a special collaboration between Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship (WTE) and our generous partners Embarc Collective, we're bringing our communities together for a FREE exclusive screening of SHOW HER THE MONEY, a bold film that exposes the shocking reality — only 2% of startup capital goes to women. Yet, women-led startups deliver DOUBLE the return per dollar. Join us after the screening for a powerful panel discussion with cast member Azin Radsan van Alebeek where we’ll tackle how we can all play a role in closing this gap. The system needs to change — and we’re ready to make it happen. 🎬 Event Details: 📅 Monday, September 23 🕒 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM 📍AMC West Shore 14, Tampa, FL Free 🎟 thanks to our champions at Embarc Collective here: https://lnkd.in/eYiNuv_n #womenintech #entrepreneurship #venturecapital
