By Jessica Stillman (Editor, Women 2.0)
Women’s contributions to entrepreneurship, innovation and science and engineering are impressive, but their voices are often muted and their stories fade into the background. Innovating Women, a new project by Singularity University aims to change that.
Created in partnership with noted author and VP of Innovation at Singularity University, Vivek Wadhwa, the project will surface the stories of women in startups and STEM and give them voice through an Indiegogo campaign to crowd-create a book featuring research and perspectives about women’s participation in the innovation economy worldwide.

We check in with previous PITCH finalists Tiny Review and DocPons founders on their ventures.
By Angie Chang (Co-Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Women 2.0)
PITCH 2012 winner Melissa Miranda (Co-Founder, Tiny Review) reports “everything is going well! We got so much out of PITCH. The opportunity to be up on stage reaching such a great audience of fellow entrepreneurs and investors was energizing. After presenting on stage and seeing the reactions of the 1000 people in the audience, there was no doubt that we had to focus on personal expression as opposed to reviews. We decided to redesign the app and we’re excited about where this is going.”
