Ketty is eager to meet other founders and to learn from their experiences. She admits that it can be lonely to be a female founder in the tech startup industry. It wasn't easy to find a group of women like me who are building tech-based companies in Asia. This program offers a unique platform I wouldn't have otherwise.
In November, the Women Founders Academy class 2021 will be celebrating its graduation. We look forward to supporting these founders in their next steps as business leaders and entrepreneurs.
