The beautiful part of #AtTheTable is that this is a relaxed environment where the only real requirement is to come enjoy the company of other like-minded women. When Beth Santos and I started to think of what we wanted the programming to look like we said “There shall be no whining — just winning”. I think that is when we had a cheers moment in our minds that, yes, this is the way to greatness.

#FemaleFounder

As founders you can imagine Beth and I have days filled with running our companies Wanderful and BeautyLynk from managing our teams, to connecting with investors and learning from our mistakes.

Our first task was to build a system that allowed us to feel like we were not adding more to the plate (no pun intended). We established great community partners, sponsors and strong timelines.

So far what we have learned from building out the #AtTheTable community is this: we did not have to force anything. It all fell into place and we were just astonished. After a few weeks we are glad to share that we have sponsors for A YEAR OF DINNERS!

We are excited to build an ecosystem of female founders in Boston and soon NYC, MIA and SF that is built for and by female founders. If you are a female founder you can apply to attend the dinners HERE. Dinner, new friends and sharing will be wonderful :)

Want to be a company sponsor that would like to host dinner in 2019 in one of our cities? You can help us offer more dinners by contacting us HERE as we would love to do more.
