Offering virtual attendance for the second year, individuals from mompreneurs to venture capitalists can step into an inclusive startup ecosystem, with access to high-profile speakers, powerful panelists and inspiring roundtable discussions. To date, the conference has helped women raise more than $18 million in seed capital.

"In the wake of COVID-19 which has been especially harmful to working women, events like Women's Venture Summit are a critical way to breathe connections, opportunity and money into working women's lives," says Stella Labs Executive Director Raven O'Neal. "Now in its eighth year, this event continues to support change-making women founders and investors who care about creating an equitable future, making money and distributing wealth."

The Summit will also showcase the final round of the annual summertime Women's Fast Pitch Competition. Held across six regions in six weeks, the finalist from each region will compete on Day Two of the Summit and one winner will take home a $10,000 investment. Sponsored by Cooley LLP, the annual Fast Pitch Competition offers more opportunities for female founders to activate their ideas through structured funding.

Former Fast Pitch winners will be a part of the impressive speaker lineup, which also includes opening keynote speaker entrepreneur Vanessa Johansson, CEO and chief custom designer of RainShadow Labs, a manufacturer of high quality, all-natural, private label skincare products. Sponsored by UBS Wealth Management, the opening keynote discussion will kick off the two-day virtual event.

Lectures, panel discussions and workshops will cover a range of topics such as:

  • Accountable Womanhood
  • Women's Power Index
  • Respectful Relationship-Building Between Founders & Funders
  • Grow Your Money, Change the World
