Greetings Women 2.0!
My venture in automated story-making - Rhymella is in the last 36 hours on Republic! (republic.co/rhymella) My co-founder Kate and I and could not be more grateful for the platform, and for groups like Women 2.0, that help close the systemic gap in how venture dollars are allocated. To highlight several of the exceptional women talent on our team-
- Kate Pentkowski, co-founder & director of product. +15 years in art/design, +8 as Dir Development at tech startups, MA NYU in Special Ed
- Nasim Eftekhari, technology advisor. Data Scientist with City of Hope, previous venture acquired
- Amy Cohn, brand advisor/coach. Executive with Disney, Sony, Oprah.com
- Libby Pingpank, literacy advisor. Reading and early education, MA Bank Street School of Education
My background is in venture/on Wall Street and in Tech. It'd be an honor to have anyone from Women 2.0 consider an investment. Thank you! Megan

Hi Women 2.0 members!

Why do I love Women 2.0? Back in 2014 when my company (Preemadonna) was still in stealth ?, Women 2.0 and @shaherose-charania helped me pay my bills over a summer with a side hustle partnerships contractor position - thank you!

We (Preemadonna) are closing out our Republic campaign tomorrow (we are over our goal!) and would love to have more of you on our journey to bring Nailbot to market. We are building a technology company with and for the next generation of girls and disrupting the $15B nail care industry with Nailbot ?. Thanks all for reading this post!

Hey everyone,

I would like advice ( any advice is helpful) in regarding a startup for a business that will allow customers to design Indian ethnic wear and to deliver them in a timely manner all through one efficient website. If you know any investors or web designer that will like to discuss this idea in further detail please let me know.

Thanks you
