  • Founder

    #BindersProject

    - Present 8 years 2 months

    Economic Empowerment

    I founded #BindersProject to help connect women technology company founders to potential investors (angel, seed, venture) who are interested in helping to support and accelerate women-led businesses. Women founded startups represent less than 5% of all deal flow in technology investment and less than 2% of overall funding. The project is focused purely on fundraising to ensure that women's businesses have the opportunity to grow at what I have coined as the soil stage (tm) and beyond in funding.
