Tune in for Women 2.0 Lightning Lessons: Session #1 with Danae Ringelmann (Founder, Indiegogo)

Spice up your workday with a bit of storytime!

Introducing Lightning Lessons

Here at Women 2.0, we know how busy startup life can get – short product launch cycles, 60+ hour work weeks, and the ever-looming buzz of the sleepless interwebs! Sometimes, amidst the constant chatter, we just need a little pick me up. For those times when an early happy hour cocktail is simply socially unacceptable (yes, 11am is too early… for a workday!), turn your day around another way by tuning in to our new Lightning Lessons live video broadcast for a little early morning inspiration.

That’s right, take just 15 minutes out of your day to learn the easy way. Avoid the mistakes of your predecessors by listening to successful tech innovators share the game-changing stories of their startup journeys and the hard lessons they learned along the way.

Innovators jump on a Google Hangout On Air to share their story with a Women 2.0 team member and the entire talk is broadcast live via Google+ for your viewing pleasure!

We’re so very excited to announce our first speaker, the amazing Danae Ringelmann (Founder, Indiegogo). Danae will be speaking on some very important lessons learned while building one of the most successful crowdfunding platforms to date.
