Catherine Cook will address difficulties faced
by female entrepreneurs
MeetMe, Inc. (NYSE MKT:MEET), the public market leader for
social discovery, announced today that Co-founder and Vice
President of Brand Strategy Catherine Cook will speak this week at
SXSW. Cook’s presentation, titled “Starting Up in a Man’s World,”
will focus on some of the challenges female entrepreneurs face when
launching a tech startup.
“Starting Up in a Man’s World” will highlight the traits unique
to women that can be huge strengths in the entrepreneurial journey
through the male-dominated tech industry. In her presentation, Cook
will share her personal story – from co-founding her own company at
the age of 15 years old to being on the management team of a
successful, publicly-traded company today.
“There are very few female entrepreneurs and leaders, especially
in the tech industry,” said Cook. “While being a woman might seem
like a disadvantage in that regard, I believe that women actually
possess many qualities that can make us much stronger
entrepreneurs. My ultimate goal is to empower potential female
entrepreneurs and help them recognize those valuable
qualities.”
Cook’s presentation, part of the Future15 series, will be on
Friday, March 7th at 3:30 p.m. in Ballroom F of the Austin
Convention Center.
