/ About this event

The numbers haven't moved much. Women-led AI startups are raising less, pitching more, and getting funded at a fraction of the rate of their male counterparts, not because the ideas are weaker, but because the rooms are different. This panel brings together women founders and investors who have been in those rooms. We're talking about what the gap actually looks like in practice, what's working, and what the ecosystem needs to change.

Space is limited and curated. Come ready to listen and ask good questions.

About the Host:

​​Women in AI connects, empowers, and elevates female founders, investors, and engineers shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Through community, mentorship, and global events, we’re building a more inclusive AI ecosystem where women lead and innovate. ​​

This event is a part of #LATechWeek, a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
