Give Work + Clean Tech Open = November Galas!

Come Thursday, November 12th, 2009, Samasource will host the first annual Give Work Charity Gala at the University Club of San Francisco, bringing together writers, luminaries, and some of the most influential female entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley. The event will feature a live auction and aims to raise funds for Samasource, a non-profit social enterprise that creates computer-based work for women, youth, and refugees living in developing countries.

Samasource provides technical training, then connects workers with clients, like Stanford University Libraries and Bookshare.org, who need to outsource data jobs. The core concept behind the program is what is called “microwork.” Samasource founder and CEO Leila Chirayath Janah says, “These little bits of labor that can be performed anytime and anywhere can add up to a real livelihood for people in many parts of the world. The driving force behind Samasource is knowing that hard-working people in places like refugee camps in Kenya and women in rural Pakistan can get life-changing work opportunities through the internet.” The Gala’s auction will raise funds to create work programs in two new refugee camps.

UPDATE: Debriefing and Notes from the September 30th, 2008 “Speak with Angels” Event

Angel investing is risky business compared to venture capital, but as Patricia Roller said — it’s about giving back AND making money. Both Patricia Roller and Georges Harik stressed the importance of following up on the introductions or referrals an angel investor gives you bcause even if the angel investor does not invest initially, the interest/investment of their peer(s) may lead them to invest at a later time. Georges Harik stressed the importance of finding a good angel with a strong network to be your first investor, because other angels will be more inclined to follow. Patricia Roller provided a helpful hint that even if an angel investor does not invest, consider asking them to become an advisor and do take their advice, and maybe later, their financial investment will follow their personal/professional investment. Both angel investors spoke to the entrepreneurs about keeping your angel investors and advisors updated — keep your regular reports concise and focused on what’s important. Afterall, your angel investors and advisors are there to help.

A handpicked group of entrepreneurs met with Patricia Roller and Georges Harik to talk about angel investing.
Carol Sands meets the entrepreneurs.	Networking is of the essence.

More pictures from the event are available on Flickr.

Thanks to everyone who came out. The next angel investment event will be in March 2009 — stay tuned!

1st Women 2.0 Conference Debriefing

The first Women 2.0 Conference on “Starting a Startup” brought in more women than I had ever seen at an Entrepreneur27 conference, or any entrepreneurial/tech event that I’ve ever been to, for that matter. The conference covered all topics from the Web 2.0 bubble, to how to get funding, to the personal challenges each of the speakers faced. Basically, the conference was a three hour crash course in being an entrepreneur.

If any of you didn’t get the chance to attend the conference and want to meet some cool girls (or if you did attend and still want to hang out with us), Women 2.0 is planning another social for the month of June so keep checking back if you’re interested!

We would like to thank all of the speakers and discussion leaders for their support and participation. All of them were truly inspirational and enjoyable to listen to, talk with, and meet. A big thank you to our speakers - Sandy Jen, Elaine Wherry, Mary Hodder, Emily Chang, Jessica Hardwick, and Joyce Park; and to our discussion leaders - Cathy Kirkman, Patricia Nakache, Indu Navar, Kristin McDonell, Barbara Rybka, and Elizabeth Bastiaanse.

There were a bunch of people that helped with this conference. Many thanks to: Wen-Wen Lam, Angie Chang, Shaherose Charania (my co-coordinators); Holly and Malika for getting us a room at AOL; Jennifer Chen for posting to the Intel mailing list and bringing us some attendees; Noah Kagan
for helping out with whatever was needed; Keshav Malani, Zachary Zarate, and Melissa Mendavia for helping out with registration and picking up food; the GeekEntertainmentTV team for videotaping the conference and taking cool pictures; Limelife, Meebo, LinkedIn, Yelp, and Zazzle for getting us promotional items; all the people that blogged about Women 2.0; the Meetro and Stirr guys for attending the conference and being just a few of maybe the 10 guys at a Women’s Conference; Luke Murray for attending the conference even though he’s from Kentucky; Gwen Tan who will be working on W2.0 in Singapore; Bert, the security guard that opened the doors for us at AOL and helped us set up; Ambika Sopory and Tram Tran for taking pics at the conference; all the people that rolled out of bed on a Sunday morning to attend a conference; and tons more people. Also, we would like to give a special thanks to The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) for sponsoring the event.
