Highs & Lows of Being a Woman Founder in Southeast Asia
In collaboration with Uncommon, Iterative is hosting a virtual panel event to support women founders of Southeast Asia.
We think it's important for women to come together to share their triumphs and challenges - expect candid conversations, practical advice, and honest sharing on what it means to be a woman leader. For women founders, by women founders.
This virtual panel event features 4 women founders of Iterative:
Yolanda Lee, founder of Uncommon
Steffina Yuli, co-founder of Kipin
Vivien Bresson, co-founder of Scarlett Panda

We'll cover key topics, from fundraising as a woman founder to managing stress, expectations and double standards.
If you're a woman founder, whether new to the startup world looking for advice or a veteran looking to connect with other women, this event is for you.
This event is part of Women Founders Month for Iterative. Learn more about other events and initiatives you can participate in.
