Women Tech Meetup: A Very Special Edition ❤️‍🔥

May is here—and so is the sunshine in SF! ☀️ That’s where I’m writing this newsletter from today. But in just a few weeks, we’re heading east to the city that never sleeps... “concrete jungle where dreams are made of…” 🎶 You guessed it—NY!

This edition is packed with upcoming events in San Francisco, a spotlight on NY Tech Week, and a sneak peek at our Boston return in July for Women Tech Meetup.

If you're in NYC (or planning to be), this one’s for you.
And Boston—who’s out there? We’re coming your way soon💥

This Month’s Favorite

I’m starting a new section where I highlight cool startups and tools I’ve come across lately—things that genuinely impressed me and deserve a little recognition. If I can help spread the word, even better.

This month’s pick? Lawformer.

Lawformer is a legal tech platform that makes contract drafting and review a whole lot easier—right inside Microsoft Word. No switching tabs, no clunky systems. Just smart, AI-powered support that helps legal teams review, modify, and risk-proof documents without slowing down.

Book a Demo if you’re curious or want to see it in action.

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