Starting with PARIS!
Closing The Funding Gap For Women Entrepreneurs. The InvestHer Global Action Summit for Women Founders, Investors, Corporates & Policymakers takes place on June 29-30 in Paris, France. The Global Action Summit is focused on moving the needle forward – making commitments to action to change the funding game for women.
Will I see you in Paris? Yeah, this one I highly recommend and I’m not missing it.
BTW. The woman behind the summit and leading the charge for more equal access to capital is my dear friend, Anne Ravanona founder of Global InvestHer. Learn more about Anne’s advocacy work on behalf of women entrepreneurs.
And the fabulous gifs in this week’s From My Inbox? Created by the phenomenal Elena Rossini.
