Hi from Women in Healthtech! Sharing latest events, resources and updates.
We hosted a Healthtech Chief of Staff Mixer earlier this Fall with the team at Sequoia, we had over 200 people apply for 30 spots, given the popularity, I’m hosting another Chief of Staff Mixer next week, come join us!
This Fall, I hosted my 50th tech event since I kicked off Women in Healthtech two years ago. Building community has been an unexpected delight and source of joy even though I never set out to be a community builder per se (though I love to throw a good party!). After over 50 events, I continue to be energized by new friends, building connections, making that helpful intro and becoming part of the (very meta) NYC Community Builders Community run by Crystelle, that includes other friends I’m grateful for like Vadim, Rohan, Kat, Tori, and Tim alongside other incredible builders like Charlie and Andrew. Although Women in Healthtech is still the largest of my community building efforts, I’ve been hosting events under other brands - can check them all out here in a consolidated Oriana calendar (thank you Luma!)
