Women-Led Companies: A Founder Showcase, NY Tech Week Edition

​This edition will once again spotlight women building companies across AI, CPG, beauty tech, fashion, fintech, wellness and beyond. We’re industry agnostic.

- ​AI-powered commerce and automation
- ​The future of healthcare systems
- ​Community and work anxiety
