WILD @ BSW
The WILD Council is excited to again host a track of events at Boulder Startup Week (BSW). Now in its 11th year, BSW is a celebration of entrepreneurship and a way to bring all walks of the startup world together. From early stage founders to more established business leaders, the mentors and attendees all share a common goal: imagining and bringing to life exciting, valuable, and successful companies.
BSW’s mission aligns well with ours, for we know that having women in leadership is a key facet of building strong and successful companies. Our sessions at Boulder Startup Week are designed to help connect, inspire, and empower women at all levels/roles to achieve their professional goals.
With the global pandemic affecting all walks of life, Boulder Startup Week has moved the 2020 conference to a digital format special edition, with the theme of "Service to Community.” In support of that, the WILD BSW committee has curated a collection of mentoring sessions that we hope will help us to Emerge Stronger from this challenging time.
