Women Tech Meetup: TechCrunch All Stage
Boston! Calling all women in tech, allies, friends and partners!
Women Tech Meetup, Techstars Boston Accelerator and Venture Lane | Startup Hub are bringing the best speakers to you to talk about - Raising on Your Terms.
We are an official side event of TechCrunch All Stage, and we are thrilled to see you all there right after a full day of conference 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.
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 be talking about:
- 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
