We understand what difficulties women entrepreneurs face. It’s often more difficult for them to raise funding or get bigger clients so they can’t afford to hire a PR agency. That’s why we offer free consultations for female founders and run meetups around the world where women can talk to investors in a nice environment. If your story makes the difference, send us an email and we’ll help share it with the world pro bono.
AI is already a part of everyday tech products that affect the course of our lives.
