AboutIn the host's words.

VTJ Insiders get 50% off events. Check your Thursday Insiders newsletter for the signup code.

Behind every great company is a story of vision, resilience, and bold decision-making. In this session, we bring together women who are shaping the entrepreneurial landscape as founders building companies from the ground up and as funders backing the next generation of ideas.

Join us for an inspiring conversation where our panelists share the leadership lessons they've learned along the way: navigating challenges, taking risks, building teams, raising capital, and creating space for others to succeed. Expect candid stories, hard-won insights, and practical advice you can take back to your own journey
