HerVantage: Startup Weekend KL - Women's Edition

Startup Weekend is an international program that provides action-based entrepreneurial education primarily through 54-hour immersive events where participants pitch ideas, form teams, and launch companies. Startup Weekend is part of Techstars, Inc., a global ecosystem that helps and supports entrepreneurs build great businesses wherever they choose to live.

In line with that, Startup Weekend KL will be hosting Kuala Lumpur’s first Startup Weekend Women's Edition in partnership with Google Malaysia, Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre, Gorgeous Geeks, StartupMalaysia.org and Lean In Malaysia. Their goal is to encourage and inspire more female leaders in startup teams and to connect more women to the vast number of resources and mentors available in our startup community. Startup Weekend KL: Women aims to help pave the road to equality by talking about tech, taking action, inspiring other women, and normalizing the presence of women in these environments.
