Here’s what had to say about 2023: learn why you should come tonDublin this year!
« I have attended many conferences and summits recently, but none like the action oriented InvestHer Summit 2023. Brilliantly curated by Ravanona, the panels, workshops and networking 🤝 opportunities all focused on closing the funding gap for women entrepreneurs. The goal - 🔔 1 million women entrepreneurs💲funded by 2030. We all felt fueled to do so from VCs, gov/policy, tech and impact from all corners of the world, gathered to listen and support each other. I am still smiling! ☺️

“Be a risk taker. Failure is part of the process. Innovation cannot work on a deadline. Empathy should drive all solutions. Persist and stay longer with the problems. Find a mentor and be one” shared Gitanjali Rao , TIME Kid of the Year 2020, Inventor, Student & Stem Advocate »
