Successful Female Entrepreneurs

I read an article on Grassland — the blog for entrepreneurs — about up and coming female entrepreneurs. As a female working in a Boston venture capital firm, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about other successful women.

Women have traditionally been in operational support or CFO/COO type roles. This article discusses Caterina Fake (co-founder of Flickr), Mena Trott (co-founder of Six Apart), Sandy Jen and Elaine Wherry (co-founders of Meebo), Gina Trapani (founding editor of LifeHacker.com), and Leah Culver (formerly of Pownce). All of these women have totally broken the stereotype of a woman’s role in a company. They are entrepreneurs looking to shape management teams and change the tech world as we know it.

It is an inspiration to see these women achieve success. If you are a female CEO of an expansion stage company and looking for investors, drop OpenView Venture Partners a line!
