On September 19, 2015, Hera Venture Summit changed the lives of everyone attending. Bringing entrepreneurs and angel investors together for the second year in a row, an entire day of networking, learning, and inspiration began and ended with entrepreneurial women and investors connecting, not superficially but authentically.
HVS Panel 3: Bridging Binational Forces
Tenacious women innovators have been moving our society forward with a force equal to men since the beginning of time. Only women have done it silently, rarely recognized for their contributions or achievements. Now is the era for women’s voices to be heard. Now is the time for recognition and leadership to be gained. From moms to Malala to Angela Merkele to US presidential candidates, the shift is happening one female at a time.
You don’t have to be a world leader, you just have to be authentically and beautifully you, grounded and ready to do what needs to be done. Hera Venture Summit attendees represented women from all fields: science, the arts, researchers, tech geeks, inventors, designers, doctors, and lawyers. What was absent was a sense of competition or one-up-man-ship. There was always someone offering insight, a hand up, encouragement, instruction, awareness and all the necessary nuts and bolts needed to step confidently onto the path of success.
As the Director of Hera Labs and Hera Fund, Silivia Mah’s dedication and year-long effort to bring everyone together with the intention of building a better, stronger, more compassionate world by empowering women gave the event its heart, it’s shine, and its power. Felena Hanson as the ingenious founder of Hera Hub created a fertile foundation for entrepreneurs to grow in, to work in and to flourish. I am unaware of any other environment that holds such a space (physically, emotionally, mentally and yes, spiritually) for women who are ready and willing to take their place as leaders and innovators in our society. Together, Silvia and Felena have formed a partnership making them a force to be reckoned with. They are the wind beneath many of our wings.
You will not want to miss next year’s event. Unfortunate enough to miss this year? Visit Hera Hub. It’s where great things are happening and change is fertilized one woman at a time.
