| WOMEN OF SILICON BEACH. From vision to success: the powerful role women are playing in LA's startup scene. Speakers include: Deborah Benton, NastyGal; Susan Feldman, One Kings Lane; Courtney Nichols Gould, SmartyPants; Therese Tucker, Blackline Systems; Dana Settle, Greycroft Partners; April Spencer, Ernst & Young; Julie MacMEDAN, Demand Media. We will feature these women in a moderated panel discussion geared towards how they translated their vision to get their companies off the ground and expand on their initial success, and how they approached capital raising to finance their various stages of growth. How did they balance the desire to maintain significant ownership with the need for capital? Did they need to leave LA to secure financing and if so, is that trend shifting as LA builds a stronger startup ecosystem? See http://www.broadscircle.com/index.php/events/upcoming-events.html |
