AccelerateHER Pitch Event

For the past six months, I’ve had the honor to participate in the Texas Woman’s University AccererateHER business incubator along with my partner Jess Buttimer, of Prairie Food Co-op related to CoApp.

On Friday, February 25, 2022, from 3-5 pm Jess and I will participate in the program’s culminating event. A pitch event where each woman in the program will share their 5-minute pitch with 5 minutes for Q & A. In addition, we’ll host a break out session at the end of the event. CoApp will be presenting at 4:10 pm with our break out session at 4:30 pm.

The women in the cohort are doing amazing things. I’d be honored if you would attend and support not only CoApp but the talented women in the program. More information and registration can be found here.
