TechPlace’s Post

Within days of launching, both cohorts of Foundations: Investing with a Gender Lens filled up, are oversubscribed, and the waitlist for the third is nearly full. A strong sense of community is at the crux of how this happened. As part of Future Capital's integration with Spring, this is a new iteration of the fan favourite Foundations program that was successfully delivered to more than 25 previous cohorts, and has now drawn in alumni participants. Since joining Toast as a Community Manager, I've had the privilege of connecting with women in tech across Canada. This has led to further cross-collaboration with communities built by women, including Amelia, Women in Healthtech, Femtech Canada, Cap Inclusive, and Mosaic Accelerator. It's incredible to have people I've met through these networks joining the cohorts. Spring's Impact Investor Socials held coast-to-coast have been instrumental in creating spaces for knowledge exchange. This, coupled with the team's ability to leverage their professional networks, drove participation. One common roadblock I hear from people interested in starting their investing journey is, "not having someone to talk about this stuff with". We want to hear your voice, and this is the space to talk investing.

"A very harsh proof and reality check about "Women in Business." We created this community "Women Community Clubs" to empower new emerging businesswomen & entrepreneurs and I thought to promote the message among "Women founders" who are a part of my 800 LinkedIn connections and guess what? It hardly took me 10 minutes, because there were less than "50" women in business in my network, though I had around "300-400" females on LinkedIn Connection. It's very sad to see as I have clients who are female founders but they started their careers very late due to lots of social or family responsibilities but I can't explain how exceptionally good they are with their work. What If they started early in their lives? I wanted to promote my community but not via this kind of post. But we really want to empower & support all aspiring females who want to get started in their lives and so my partner VASU JAIN is building a community over WhatsApp-"Women Community Clubs" - a free space for women entrepreneurs to network, promote their businesses, find co-founders, mentors, and investors. It's a great place for collaboration and support! 👉 Fill the form to be a part of this community:- https://lnkd.in/gW98nHPm and also share this post with all the aspiring females you know around who might get benefit from it. #womenentrepreneurs #communityforwomens #entrepreneurship #business #startups #business

We need new input. Things get super weird otherwise. (I'll share one of my #MidJourney re-prompt nightmares with you if you ask nicely.) We need new input in #AI. Same goes for “innovation,” which can sometimes (often) feel like it's stuck in a #loop. Just go take a look at the billboards along Highway 101... *yaaaaaawn* I've said it before, and I'll say it again, *innovation doesn't happen in isolation.* Last week, at the #llamalounge Amazon Web Services (AWS) event, I watched woman after woman get on stage and pitch their AI startups. Jeremiah Owyang spoke briefly about what a mistake it would be to not have women's voices in tech and AI and that is why he prioritizes them. He's not wrong. And *now* is the time to invest in them. (or maybe yesterday). Tomorrow, I’m excited to attend the Women Tech Meetup at Werqwise in #SF and meet other women leading... just... leading. If any women in my network are going, let me know! #WomenInTech #AI #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #WomenInAI #AWS #LlamaLounge #Werqwise #BugMars Fidelity Private Shares

CALLING ALL FOUNDERS, THE TIME IS NOW. Prepare yourself for Founder’s Therapy. Business therapy and networking for female founders. Did you know that 62% of Juno Women identify as entrepreneurs? Let that soak in. We are real women driving change, creating impact, and leading the way for future generations. We are a community of women who don’t take no for an answer. We turn problems into opportunities, challenges into solutions. But as any entrepreneur knows, this passion comes with sacrifice. Did you know that female founders are more likely to feel alone or unsupported compared to men. On average we raise only 20% of the capital invested in venture-backed startups in Europe. With less funds and less networking opportunities it’s no wonder we are far away from parity. It can be lonely to be a female founder. Juno House is here to change that. Ditch the tunnel vision and surround yourself with greatness. Breakout sessions, networking lunch, noon talks & cocktail party. NOVEMBER 19th, 2024 Tickets on sale now Open to all ✨✨✨ Get your ticket! https://lnkd.in/dQcsgHip
