$55,000 has been pledged in the last 24 hours to the women who pitched at #FundFemaleFounders yesterday.
The event just felt different. The attendees cheered these founders on in the comments, gave feedback, support and pledged. There were over 300 comments and reactions in the hour.
And at least two people cried – but they were tears of passionate conviction. We had women creating businesses for their children, for their parents, for their communities, for the environment.
These founders have hit huge milestones – from being ranged in 165 supermarkets, to stopping 57,000 pieces of clothing from going to landfill, to securing a potential deal with Sephora.
