It wasn’t so long ago that female angel and venture capital investors were rarities in Wisconsin and elsewhere. Today, they’re making a mark in the early stage economy – but with lots of room for growth. Assessing that progress and what comes next will be discussed at the Dec. 2 virtual W·O·M·E·N reception produced by the Wisconsin Technology Council.

The virtual W·O·M·E·N reception (Women Opportunities Mentors Entrepreneurship Networking) will begin at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2, with virtual breakout networking sessions with the presentation following from 10 to 11 a.m.

This reception is open to men and women. The W·O·M·E·N reception is sponsored by Promega.

Panelists are Andrea Dlugos, co-manager of Wisconsin Investment Partners; Dana Guthrie, managing partner of Gateway Capital Partners; and Richelle Martin, managing director of the Winnow Fund. The trio will describe their funds or networks as well as what they see in Wisconsin, the region and beyond.
