Leveling the Playing Field For 5 Female Founders

Dear Friends, 

We wanted to take a moment to celebrate our success. We just crossed the finish line with less than 24 hours to go. This means we will also officially 'graduate' from the Global Giving Accelerator Program. YEAH!!!!!!!! We could not have done it without you! It means so much to Sana and I that you have supported us on our journey. We can't say THANK YOU enough!  

During the campaign we received another piece of good news.  A key partnership we had been working towards is coming to fruition with our friends at the FUND Conference/ Venture Connects. We expect to partner with them to help early stage founders raise capital through crowdfunding by fall. 

With that in mind, we still need more applications for more female founders to begin the work of preparing them for a raise. If there are any you think are ripe for our support, we would really appreciate it if you would share this application with them.  We hope to have them selected by the end of Q2. We are looking for those who need smaller sums of money: 50K-250K.  

Here is a link to the application:

On that note, Lisa will be moderating a panel for Fund Conference- Austin on April 25th for 5 female VC's.  We hope between the connections she makes there- with the over 100 startups attending who are seeking additional support and funding- that we will find a few more to participate. We have vetted and accepted only 1 to date. LumenCache. 

Thanks again for your belief that our future is brighter with helping more female founders to rise and shine. Helping them bridge the investment gap is critical to their success. Thank you for recognizing it and contributing. 

every good wish,

Lisa Canning & Sana Tariq Khan
