Not Another Network for Women: Startup Formation Infrastructure.
Top startups don't emerge in isolation. They form within dense networks where founders meet engineers, collaborators, and early supporters, when the company is still just an idea.
Historically, these networks have existed in male-dominated environments, excluding women from the spaces where startup formation occurs. This helps explain why women remain so grossly underrepresented in the venture ecosystem and how WiseLink helps solve for this.
