Melissa Gasnick-Cloeter invited me to be a panelist for the “Sharkette Tank” at her annual “OwnIt Ventures” conference for women entrepreneurs. I was joined by Alicia Syrett [Pantegrion Capital] and Elizabeth Sigety [Fox Rothchild], and together we shared insights to the mind of investors, for an auditorium of hundreds of entrepreneurs.
