Sisters with Ventures Dinner
During LA Tech Week, I got to host a very special Sisters with Ventures Podcast dinner featuring some of our guests on the show. This work is my love letter for women in venture capital to be seen. It was a beautiful?night with beautiful?people, and a room full of investors, founders, and operators. A special thank you to Ken Aseme and his team at Hazic Fund Services for supporting the Sisters with Ventures Dinner in LA.
