While there are clear benefits to women-led companies and gender-balanced leadership teams, we have a long way to go in making this the norm.  Michelle will explore the “leaky pipeline” theory, how mentoring makes a difference for the woman AND the company, and how the disparate parties in the startup ecosystem can come together to make a major impact.

#BigDOCC - Dallas Open Coffee Club (Downtown Dallas)
You wake up every morning, filled with excitement about the technology news of the day. Wouldn't it be great if you could surround yourself once a week with people just as excited about tech as you are? Imagine a one hour chat, moderated of course, with people that love talking tech because they're passionate about it? Free coffee too? How this works: You bring yourself, and hopefully a friend. Your friendly moderator, Caitlin Studley, will start the conversation with introductions of any new attendees and then we'll tackle a few items such as community events (yes, you can promote yours!), jobs (who's searching/hiring), and then we get into it--what do you want to talk about this week?

That's exactly why #BigDOCC was founded. To give people like us a place to open up and be the people we love to be.

Bring a friend and enhance the value for everyone.
