#WomenColorTech

#WomenColorTechToo is the second edition to our very successful first #WomenColorTech event two years ago. #WCT is a celebration of women's contributions to the existence and the growth of present day tech ecosystem. This event will explore the impact, struggles, existing opportunity, and urgency to empower more girls and women through tech, entrepreneurship, education and funding.

It will also discuss the so called 'invisible/unavailable' pipeline of qualified girls and women in tech; importance of diversity-investing in venture capital; impact of tech and diversity on social justice; as well as how to attract, engage and fund more women in tech.

Finally 5 diverse startup founder teams, innovating in diverse areas will pitch their startups to the audience.

Come see the real color of tech #Diversity&Inclusion on April 19th.

This is going to be EPIC!

About Startup52

Startup52 is NYC's first diversity focused accelerator. We love promising teams and ventures with strong diversity profiles - ventures that have at least one founder from what we call 'untapped' communities - people of color, women, entrepreneurs who are veterans, seniors, LGBTQ, new immigrants, etc.

Our goal is to leverage the benefits of diversity, (which has proven to be successful, profitable and drives innovation), in empowering highly driven founders, while simply increasing diverse and inclusive representation in tech and startup spaces.

If you want to see the real color of tech #Diversity&Inclusion, then you do not want to miss this.

The #WomenColorTechToo event will take place at Galvanize NYC, which is conveniently located in the heart of downtown NY at 303 Spring Street.
