Two weeks ago, I sat in a crowded auditorium and listened to others give their pitches at Women 2.0 Startup Weekend. I knew no one, had no technical background, and debated with myself whether or not I should give a pitch too.

Here’s a quick check-in from the GeoSquish team:
Tiem Song’s Story
Going into the fifth and last week of Women 2.0 Labs, I continue to develop deep respect and admiration for my fellow team members and all the program participants.
Our team got off to a late start, with two of us (myself included) starting a week into the program. However, our team hit it off quickly and we felt like long-time coworkers.
