On March 15th, 15 phenomenal women gathered around a dinner table in Boston to share their stories about building startups, leading teams, and creating the change we want to see in the world.

We didn’t know each other. In fact, many of us were strangers. But when we finally parted ways, we did it not only with a deeper understanding of what it is to be a female entrepreneur in Boston and around the world, but with tangible action items of how we can enact change for women in startups everywhere.

Our first #AtTheTable dinner was a massive success

We can’t wait to share with you some of our big ideas coming soon of what’s next. In the meantime, here are some words from our attendees about what this community has done for them:

“I was just blown away by the caliber of the women, the amazing things each person is doing in the world, and how wonderful and inviting the group was. It was just such a pleasure all around.” — Amanda Laden

Beth and Rica

“The women around the table struck an ideal balance between positivity and pragmatism so the advice we shared with one another managed to be earnest and encouraging. We’ve continued to share advice in the aftermath of the event, so I feel like I never really left the table.” — Helen Mayer, Forward F1rst

Boston view

“I am often invited to events focused on female founders, but often find the events focused on being ‘female’ rather than being an
entrepreneur. #AtTheTable was different: open, authentic founders who were looking for like minds to collaborate around themes of success. A truly inspiring event.” — Elizabeth G

We are so grateful to our amazing community partners (WIN Lab, We BOS and SheStarts) for helping us assemble such an inspiring group of women to build honest conversation with each other, and to our sponsor Gennari Aronson for leading the first dinner of the year.
