Women in Tech(Crunch) Reception Recap
Hosted by Greylock Partners and TechCrunch
For the third year in a row, Greylock partnered with TechCrunch to host an afternoon of career guidance, feedback, and networking with TechCrunch’s Include Office Hours and the “Women in Tech(Crunch)” reception.
TechCrunch’s Include Office Hours
During TechCrunch’s Include Office Hours, Greylock investors Sarah Guo, Matt Heiman and Saam Motamedi met with a total of 18 underserved and underrepresented founders from industries including cybersecurity, AI/AR, fintech, digital commerce, Big Data and vertical SaaS. Each investor held twenty minute one-on-one meetings to provide these entrepreneurs with an opportunity to gain valuable insight and advice. These entrepreneurs include, but are not limited to, women, veterans, LGBTQ, Black, Latino/a, Asian, Native Americans and those with disabilities.
Women in Tech(Crunch) Reception
Afterwards, the fun kicked off with an invitation-only reception for female founders, product leaders, engineers and C-level executives. We welcomed more than 180 women in technology who are focused on building a strong community founded on shared experiences and challenges. World-renowned portrait photographer Kevin Abosch provided guests with a sneak peek of his Tech:Women exhibit, which will showcase portraits of the women behind many of the world’s most disruptive companies. The gallery included Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg, Mozilla Executive Chairwoman Mitchell Baker, Gixo founder Selina Tobaccowala, Nextdoor Co-Founder Sarah Leary and Houseparty Co-Founder Sima Sistani.
We are always looking for ways to create access and opportunities for underrepresented founders and tech leaders to meet and connect with investors and the entrepreneurial community at large. Every year, our community gets larger and larger, and we look forward to hosting you next year!
