Women in AI | Factory x Sapienne x Sequoia

Join Factory, Sapienne, & Sequoia for a Women in AI Night. It's an evening for women who build with AI and for anyone ready to start. We'll have food, drinks, a hands-on workshop, a fireside chat, and plenty of time to meet the people around you.

AI is changing how software gets built and who gets to build it. This summit kicks off a series that helps women gain the technical skills that matter now, puts a spotlight on what technical women are shipping, and gives back to the community that makes this work possible.

What to expect

• Hands-on workshop. Learn how to delegate engineering work to Factory's Droids. You'll take a task from idea to working code, then review, test, and ship it. Bring your laptop. No prior coding experience needed.

• Tech Talk. Former CNBC anchor Dierdre Bosa will talk about her new show DB Live, a daily livestream covering AI, technology and markets.

• Fireside chat. A conversation with women leading in tech about their careers, how they build teams, and where AI is taking the work.

  • Francesca LaBianca, COO at Factory

  • Lauren Reeder, Partner at Sequoia Capital

  • Cristina Cordova, COO at Linear

  • Nancy Wang, Head of Applied AI, OpenAI (Codex Security)

• Networking, food, and drinks.

Space is limited. RSVP to save your spot.

About Sequoia
Sequoia helps daring founders build legendary companies from idea to IPO and beyond. Our expertise comes from nearly 50 years of working with legendary founders like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Larry Page, Jan Koum, Brian Chesky, Tony Xu, Lin Qiao, Eric Yuan, Christina Cacioppo, and Patrick Collison. In aggregate, Sequoia-backed companies account for more than 30% of NASDAQ's total value. The vast majority of the money we invest has been on behalf of nonprofits and schools like the Ford Foundation, Mayo Clinic and MIT, which means most of the returns we generate benefit these great causes.
