[CivicAccess-discuss] Womyn 2.0 Startup Competition

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

For you girl geeks that have been developing some cool tools this might be
for you!
*******************************************
In the last few years, with all the start-ups being created in Silicon
Valley, very few of the entrepreneurs seemed to be women! When the founders
of Women 2.0 <http://www.women2.org/> noticed this, they knew something
should be done to encourage the many capable women in the area that they can
do it too!

Luckily for us, Women 2.0 reaches far beyond the borders of California with
events like *Women 2.0 Startup Competition - Pitch
2009*<http://www.women2.org/pitch2009/>.
"Pitch 2009 is the *most-anticipated Women 2.0 event* - a unique *startup
competition* open to early-stage ventures. We *accept submissions
globally*from high-growth business ventures in web 2.0, mobile, bio
tech, consumer
clean tech, and consumer hardware."

I hope some of you talented CU-WISE members might consider taking part in
this exciting event.  If you plan on putting a team together, let us know at
wise at carleton.ca! We had the pleasure of meeting Women 2.0's Event Producer
at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, and can therefore
help get answers to any questions you may have.
