Women's Startup Weekend San Francisco
About the Event
With women leading less than 7% of venture-backed startups, it’s no secret that there are fewer women founding companies than men. That’s why we have one special focus for this Startup Weekend: connecting and showcasing the talents of women and aspiring female entrepreneurs. Pitches will be women-only and mentors and judges will be female-heavy. But that doesn’t mean men aren’t welcome to participate too! We know the best teams have diverse and balanced perspectives, so men are encouraged to join teams as well. Whether entrepreneurs found companies, find a cofounder, meet someone new, or learn a skill far outside their usual 9-to-5, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups. If you want to put yourself in the shoes of an entrepreneur, register now for the best weekend of your life! We have some great prizes lined up and have more coming in!
