New York City | Quesnay's Female Founders in Tech Competition is live! Spread the word to US-based technology startups with a female leader and a product relevant to fintech/insurtech. There is a distinct lack of representation and startup funding among women - the competition will provide a way to fund, support and mentor female founders in fintech/insurtech, where the gap is particularly stark - among the nearly 500 deals closed in the Fintech sector in the US in 2016, less than a dozen went to companies founded by women. Six finalists will have access to business development guidance from industry leaders, Microsoft Azure cloud credit, and social media promotion. Qualified startups can apply here.
