Yesterday's Angel Investing session with @AmberIllig & @shriyanevatia was SO awesome. These reviews speak for themselves...🔥🔥🔥

Over 100 women joined, we had so many great questions, and blew past our planned hour.

We'll just have to host more of these in the future!

I'm launching a slack community for the most talented female founders, investors, creators, & women in startups! 😃

I firmly believe in the power of fostering support and inclusivity, and have experienced first-hand the unique challenges women face in the startup world...

[Ruffin Mitchener @ruffinmitch]

The point of this community is to provide a space for knowledge-sharing, partnerships, mentorship, and networking...all to allow for better representation and success for women in the startup ecosystem.
