Christine Caven, PS27 Director of Business Development and Communications, and Anne Schindler, Host of WJCT First Coast Connect, discuss the PS27 Foundation on NPR.
The PS27 Female Founders Forum presented by VyStar is the Largest Celebration of International Women's Day in Florida. This will be the first Keynote Speaker in Jacksonville who is an AI Founder; Shelia Marcelo is the Founder of Care.com and is launching a new company, Ohai.ai, which created an AI-powered virtual assistant for families. She is also one of the most accomplished women in tech. Marcelo is one of less than 30 women to take a company all the way from Founder to IPO.
The crowd favorite is the live pitch competition - six founders will pitch live on stage for a $250,000 capital investment from PS27, and the winner will go through due diligence with the PS27 team.
The audience of founders, local leaders, and students will hear stories of resilience from local founders on the She Kept Going panel featuring Megan Hayward, Demika Jackson, and Rebecca Smith.
This year's International Women's Day theme is Inspire Inclusion. For every post on social media during the event, we will donate $1 to Girls Who Code to close the gender gap in technology. A handful of tickets are still available for people who would like to attend at PS27Foundation.org.
