Fund Female Founders event honours International Women’s Day

    This year the UN’s theme for International Women’s Day is “Invest in Women” – so team PledgeMe thought it was only fitting to host another Fund Female Founders event.

    Our last Fund Female Founder event kicked off four successful ventures, with each one closing successfully and raising a total of over $600k during their campaigns.

    We’ve joined forces with Ministry of Awesome once again to launch a group of women-led crowdfunding campaigns in this hour-long online event. Join us to celebrate, support, and fund these remarkable founders on Tuesday, 12 March at 5pm.

    Here’s our lineup so far:

    Watch this space for more about each of these founders and their PledgeMe campaigns, as well as additional founders and speakers over the next few weeks.

    As the suffragettes used to say – Deeds not words! So we want to get on with it and start fixing the problem of women being underfunded through this event. Join us by registering here.

    And please share this with women and allies in your lives!
