Five Elms – Women’s Leadership Forum
March 6, 2024
EVENT RECAP
In honor of International Women's Day, join us for our first Women's Leadership Forum. This will be an insightful event tailored for the women leaders within the Five Elms portfolio.
This virtual roundtable will feature prior Five Elms portfolio Founder & CEO, Allie Magyar. She will be sharing her unique story as a 3x Founder, successful exit / transition into a new industry, her continued experience in tech as an investor and advisor...and the lessons learned along the way!
Following Allie's story, we will offer a collaborative Q&A to engage in open dialogue, share thoughts, and exchange ideas.
Since many of you might be joining us during a mealtime, we'll be sending out UberEats gift cards (or your country's equivalent) as a treat.
We hope you can join us! We look forward to gaining valuable perspective and fostering the network of women in our portfolio.
Please submit questions you would pose to other women with high growth potential! -->
