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.
