About this Event: 

Capital Factory is dedicated to increasing diversity in the entrepreneurial and tech community while making our coworking space an inclusive environment for all. On October 5th, Capital Factory, along with Google for Startups, Sana Benefits, Baker Botts, and DivInc, will be hosting the Women in Tech Summit to kick off Austin Startup Week.

Earlier this year, we published our 2019 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Report, which reflects on our work the past few years, what we're doing currently, and how we want to continue improving in the future. If you have any feedback or comments, we'd love to hear from you!

Who is the event for?

Women leaders, entrepreneurs, and allies in tech who support and invest in diversity and inclusion focused primarily in the Texas and Austin area.

Small businesses are closing left and right. Makers, artists, many of which are mom-owned businesses are the first to close. We have to tend to our families, we have home school, we can't run side hustles as it's often seen by the public. But for most, these are not side hustles. They are dreams. They provide supplement income for their families. They provide communities for women and mothers. We are giving them another chance to reach more customers, drive more traffic to their websites, engage with our audience and learn about how consumers are shopping during a global pandemic.
