Girls In Tech

Want to know if that business idea you wrote down on a crumpled napkin can actually lead to crisp dollar bills? Have too many crumpled idea napkins and don’t know where to start? Join Women 2.0 for a two-day workshop February 6-7 in Microsoft’s San Francisco office. The “Will it Launch” workshop will be lead by David Weekly (Founder and CEO of PBWorks) and Poornima Vijayshankar (Founding Engineer, Mint). The two of them will quickly assess startup ideas and then teach you how to perfect that startup pitch so you leave the workshop ready to find co-founders, customers, investors, volunteers, the like-minded — anyone who will help you launch and or buy your product.
