The Angel Summit
7 years ago Shalini BWe have been hearing and reading about numerous summits and events that have been organized for entrepreneurs and founders of startups. But there are very few events that recognize the power of women and their role in the entrepreneurial journey.
The Angel Summit does exactly that – it is a one day Global Conference for women. The idea behind the summit is to bring onto a common platform inspiring women from technology, business, arts, sports, politics while providing them with a powerful platform to showcase what they’ve got to the world! Angel Hub, an initiative that focuses on education, mentorship and acceleration of women towards success is behind the Angel Summit. Their work includes several initiatives focused on providing growth platforms and mentorship for female entrepreneurs. The summit is scheduled to happen at Istanbul, Singapore, Madrid and Hyderabad. It is all set to take place at ISB, Hyderabad on the 28th of November 2015.
