We’re Back in SF... and Headed to NY🚀

Ok, in SF our “summer” looks approximately like this 🌁— as always 🙂
I hope yours is at least a few degrees warmer.

Women Tech Meetup is back in San Francisco, and we can’t wait to kick off the fundraising season together with you!

Oh, and guess what? We have one event planned for New York too — so grab your coffee, scroll down, and see what’s brewing.

➡️ West Coast - San Francisco

San Francisco, August 28th, 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM

​​​​Let’s be real — fundraising isn’t one-size-fits-all. And for women founders? The rules aren’t just different — they’re nonexistent.

That’s why we’re bringing together a powerhouse room of female founders, funders, and operators to talk about raising capital your way.

We'll have a panel discussion with female founders from the current YC batch, as well as active female investors to talk about the best strategies, lessons learnt, and so much more.

- Navigating bias and owning your narrative
- Fundraising strategies that actually work in 2025
- Finding aligned investors (and walking away when it’s not right)
- Stories from the frontlines of the cap table

And we'll be gathering at a gorgeous Withum office space with a view in downtown San Francisco.

San Francisco, September 30th, 5:30:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Angels or VCs? Choosing Your First Check Wisely

When it’s time to raise your first serious funding, the big question looms — do you start with angels and smaller checks, or go big with venture capital? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but there is wisdom in hearing from those who’ve been there.

Join us for an honest conversation with powerhouse female founders and angel investors as we explore:

  • The real benefits of angel funding (beyond the money)

  • When it makes sense to take VC capital — and when to wait

  • How to align your investor choice with your long-term vision

We’ll gather at the stunning Canopy flagship location in San Francisco, Jackson Square, surrounded by inspiring company, great conversation, champagne, and amazing food.

Come for the insights. Stay for the connections.

➡️ East Coast - New York

Save the Date!

New York, September 9th, 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM

​Calling all NYC founders! Something special is in the works for you.
Mark your calendars — details dropping soon.
