Startup Sac: “Celebrating International Women’s Day with FourthWave Panel”
In celebration of International Women’s Day we thought we’d shine the spotlight on some of Sacramento’s female startup founders. The Startup Grind Sacramento event on January 9, featured a panel discussion consisting of some of the graduating 2017 FourthWave cohort. FourthWave is a Sacramento startup program focused on scaling female-led technology companies committed to conscious leadership and inclusion as a path to higher value. Cofounder of FourthWave,Tracy Saville, led the panel discussion that included:
Cheryl Beninga, FourthWave Co-Founder and FanTag CFO
Kim Box, Gatekeeper Innovation CEO and President
Janine Yancey, Emtrain Founder and CEO
Venita Sivamani, Dermveda Co-Founder and CEO
As I often do, I brought along my portable audio recorder to capture the event. In the audio podcast below you can hear about the challenges and lessons they learned during their first year.
