Womxn in Web3
Investment in web3 startups rose to ~$25 billion in 2021, yet only 5% of web3 entrepreneurs are women.
Join us for a panel discussion on “Womxn in Web3” with CoinDesk TV Host Jennifer, WACEO’s Managing Director Aléksa, Kanvas.ai CEO Astrid, and Women In NFTs Cofounder Kayla.
We hope that their perspective will inspire and empower other women who want to lead, create, or build in this space.
