Back in June, in partnership with Davis Wright Tremaine’s Project W, we opened applications for SaaS Launch Lab — a program for promising pre-seed, female-led companies developing enterprise SaaS solutions. The five-week program of virtual workshops is designed to help female founders refine their proof of concept, find the right product-market fit, build a team, and raise a seed round.
Project W has been hosting Women Entrepreneurs Boot Camps since 2016, laser-focused on closing the gender gap in funding for early stage companies founded by women.
At M12, we share that ambition, and are thrilled to supplement their world-class faculty with one-on-one sessions with investors.
Today, we’re proud to announce the inaugural SaaS Launch Lab Cohort:
- Pradnya Desh — CEO, Advocat Technologies
- MH Lines — CEO, Automaton
- Amanda Li — CPO and Co-founder, Banyan Infrastructure
- Kathleen Egan — CEO and Co-founder, ecomedes
- Sara Zetterberg — CEO and Co-owner, Haldor AB
- Jo Lynn Clemens — Founder, I’ve Been Vetted
- Beth Porter — CEO, Riff Analytics
- Ashley Williams — CEO and Founder, RIZZARR
- Oksana Sokolovsky — CEO and Founder, ROAR Augmented Reality
- Tiffanie Stanard — CEO and Founder, Stimulus, Inc.
- Gabriela Trueba — CEO, Womp
