#SF TechWeek Female Founders and Funders Walk

​SF #TechWeek Female Founders and Funders Walk will take place at Salesforce Park on Tuesday, October 8th from 3:00pm until 5:00pm.  This event is a part of #TechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs, startups and allies to bring together the tech ecosystem. No agenda other than to walk and talk, networking with other like-minded women and woman-identifying founders and funders in the startup ecosystem (outside of the usual, noisy bar atmosphere).  We look forward to engaging conversations while taking in some fresh air!

​​Additional details:

​​Meet up: You will need to find the elevators/escalators to the 4th level or ride the gondola up (which is free but sometimes has a line). We’ll meet up near the amphitheater stage on the southwest end of the park near 2nd Street—we’ll gather there and then set off on the walking path around 3:20.
