Speed Networking, Find Your Next Collaborator/Mentor/Friend for Woman in Tech
Wed, Oct 7, 3:00 PM**Event Summary** 5 minutes. Two woman. A spark. Rotate through 1-on-1 conversations with 15+ women in tech and find your next partner, mentor, co-founder, or collaborator. **Description** Want to meet interesting women in tech without the pressure? This is speed networking — a gentle, human format where you have 1-on-1 conversations with women you'd actually want to know. No pitches. No performing. Just real talks with real people. **How it works:** You sit across from someone. You have 5 minutes to talk. Ask each other what you're building, what you're curious about, what you're working through. A soft bell rings. You move to the next person. By the end of 90 minutes, you've met a dozen women — some become collaborators, some become friends, some just remind you why you love this work. **Who's this for?** Woman in tech, Founders, engineers, designers, product managers, mentors, marketing, etc. anyone building or exploring in tech. Early-stage or scaling. Experienced or just starting. All we ask is genuine curiosity and an open heart. Whether you're looking for a co-founder, a mentor, a peer who gets it, or just interesting people to learn from — there's space for you here. **Why this format?** It feels like a real conversation, not networking. Because it is. Meet quality over quantity. 5 minutes is enough to know if there's real connection. Unexpected friendships. Sometimes the person who changes your trajectory isn't who you were looking for. Share what you know. If you've got experience, there's someone here who'd love to learn from you. If you're early-stage, there's someone who remembers what that felt like. Just women being humans together. No competition. No ego. Just real. **What to bring:** Yourself. Your ideas. Your phone (LinkedIn app open and ready). We'll provide prompts to get conversations started if you need them. After the event you can stay for a non-structured networking to keep going the conversation. We'll add you to a WhatsApp group so you can follow up with the people you connected with. The magic happens in the DMs — so show up ready to be proactive. **WhatsApp Group:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GSwiV9YYOtwCcxnOPvgtbL](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GSwiV9YYOtwCcxnOPvgtbL)
