The goal of the monthly event series, called Female Founders and Funders, is to connect female entrepreneurs with female investors, offering a safe space for informal conversations on fundraising and startup creation. The first event of the series is happening this Friday, March 22, at the Comcast Technology Center.

The event will also feature office hours from a broad range of investing and entrepreneurship groups: Robin Hood Ventures, Mid-Atlantic Diamond Ventures, Temple School of Business, 1776, Philly Startup Leaders, Backstage Capital, Ben Franklin Tech Partners, TechGirlz, Chariot Solutions, Gabriel Investments, Venture for America, Techstars, Dreamit, JumpStart NJ, Broad Street Angels, AVG Women’s Fund and Delaware Crossing.
