I was proud to wrap up an eventful 2024 in beautiful Helsinki, for the third leg of the successful #INNOVEIT Conference Series, a flagship event of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). As a prequel to #Slush, the city’s annual startup extravaganza, it was doubly exciting because it was all about empowering women, who are clearly underrepresented in the start-up and VC space.
Always a thrill to meet cool women who have braved the choppy waters of entrepreneurship, often learning by doing, accomplished women who have moved into investing to better promote female-led start-up ventures, and smart, innovative women who are always looking for ways to thrive and make some sort of societal contribution at the same time. Great to hear their stories and see so many role models at work and in the making, women who will inspire our daughters to believe in their own vision.
