Recently Hera Hub Founder Felena Hanson and Hera LABs CEO Silvia Mah traveled to Santiago, Chile to speak at The LatAm Startups Conference. The goal of the conference was to bring together North American VC and angel investors and the best startups in Latin America. Startups must have previously received seed capital from an incubator or bona fide investor to participate. The conference was not a competition, but companies were able to network themselves with people who could help finance their business.
The LaAm Startups Conference took place at the Innovation Centre at UC Chile in Santiago on September 26th and 27th. The conference was full of wonderful speakers and panels.
Felena and Silvia spoke about Creating a Collaborative a Platform for Female Entrepreneurs. They also sat on a panel about global female entrepreneurship. Silvia challenged the audience support your daughters when they want to sell home cooked cookies or a lemonade stand, be a mentor to other women, and challenge startups to be open to take women’s advise as customers, co-founders & advisors.
