Description
Presented by St. Anne's-Belfield and Charlottesville Women in Tech.
She Started It offers the first ever behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to run a tech start-up as a young woman. Shot on location in Silicon Valley, New York, and other cities across the globe, the film follows five female entrepreneurs and their challenges and triumphs in a male-dominated field. It’s an exploration of the cultural roots of female underrepresentation in entrepreneurship—including pervasive self-doubt, fear of failure, and risk aversion among young women—and the structural barriers that keep women from entering and succeeding in this male-dominated field. High-profile investor Joanne Wilson, White House CTO Megan Smith, and Facebook engineer Ruchi Sanghvi are just a few of the highly accomplished women who weigh in on these issues and share their own experiences. Discussion following with director Nora Poggi and a panel of female entrepreneurs including LeiLei Secor, Suz Somersall, Lorraine Sanders, and moderated by Kim Wilkens (St. Anne's-Belfield, Charlottesville Women in Tech, Tech-Girls).
