The "F" Factor: Fueling Womxn Founders

Get ready for frank discussions on ‘F’ words that impact women entrepreneurs and business leaders fighting through the pandemic, demonstrating fierce resilience and scaling firms in a time of COVID-19. From fundraising to fearlessness, to pivoting fast, finding fellowship and fighting burnout, our leaders are ready to share honest insight, experiences and lessons learned. This authentic insight includes stories of epic fails and rebounds, re-defining the future, and charting a winding path to success in unprecedented times.
