Event description: 

Are you interested in entrepreneurship? Join the Society of Women Engineers and the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute for a screening of the documentary “She Started It” and a panel discussion with young entrepreneurs—both students and alums. We will have a special introduction to the documentary by Ann Miura-Ko. Ann is Partner at Floodgate and has been named “the most powerful woman in startups” by Forbes. 

“She Started It” follows five women over two years as they pitch VCs, build teams, bring products to market, fail and start again. The documentary takes viewers on a global roller coaster ride from San Francisco to Mississippi, France and Vietnam. Along the way, it weaves in big-picture perspectives from women like investor Joanne Wilson; White House CTO Megan Smith; GoldieBlox CEO Debbie Sterling; and Ruchi Sanghvi, the first female engineer at Facebook.

Dinner will be provided! Please RSVP here and feel free to contact gradswe.yale@gmail.com with any questions.
