About Us

We represent a cross-section of entrepreneurs, investors, academia, government, media, non-profit and industry organizations focused on breaking down barriers for women in high-growth entrepreneurship—across the pipeline—from college graduate to founder and CEO.

This is the first annual We Own It Summit convened to address the myths, money, motivations, metrics and solutions for women's participation in high-growth entrepreneurship.

If you would like to be considered for the Summit, please email a request for an invitation to invitation@weownitsummit.com. Please provide your name, organization and a bit about yourself.
