What Happened Last Week

Our Female Founders event featuring female investor guru Jenny Fielding (Co-Founder, The Fund), made possible by AWS and Perkins Coie, was such a success! Jenny's insights and anecdotes on her journey as an entrepreneur-turned-VC kept all attendees so engaged and inspired. What would Jenny say to her younger self? "Put yourself out there. Be open to meeting new people. Don't be prescriptive. Serendipity will happen" :)

Hope to see you all at our events in the upcoming weeks! Do host your own events as well and earn momos via the Supermomos app — we have features such as automated calendar invites, ability to send e-mail and sms blasts, and an rsvp approval system where you can curate your own group of event attendees. Best of all, we bring you fun new (and old) likeminded friends to join you in activities that you've always wanted to try! (like... pasta-hunting or art gallery-hopping)

Follow us on Instagram and Twitter and LinkedIn to get up to date on even last-minute events hosted by the community, and also check out photos of past events.

Much love, Edwina
