Description

Sponsored by WiE - Knoxville, this panel discussion will examine actions the entire community can take to support more women founders. Why do we continue to see such a low number of start-up teams with a woman founder or co-founder in East TN? And as a community, what actions can we take to show our support and increase opportunities for women founders? Join Women in Entrepreneurship - Knoxville (WiE) and the Knoxville Entrepreneur Center for a panel discussion on ways we can all show up more for women entrepreneurs and founders. ALL are welcome to this event! We're bringing together women founders, ecosystem builders, and capital access experts for this important and much-needed discussion. Let's change the start-up landscape to make East TN one of the best places for women founders to build a business! This in-person event will be hosted at the BRAND NEW Aught Coworking Downtown Location.
