At the upcoming BlogHer conference at the The Westin to Francis Hotel there will be a bird of a feather session on Friday July 18th at 2:30 PM (till 3:10)  focus on funding and incubation opportunities for women entrepreneurs,  I'll be facilitating this, so come and take part, please if you're looking for funding, have an idea for a business, or want to grow a business you have.

We're going to talk about opportunities women entrepreneurs have for getting both coaching and assistance when seeking funding, and getting funding itself--Kristien Taylor, the community manager for the Knight News Challenge (which will give away approximately $5MM in 2008-09,application process starting this summer) will attend, and we will also talk about TechStars and other incubators--

Come to find out more, or to share advice and experiences with fellow BlogHers!

(Note:As someone involved with both the Knight News Challenge and with TechStars,(where Lisa Williams, Catherine Taylor and myself--three women who met up and got close via BlogHer--are launching a company call People's Software) are spending the summer working away--I've have first hand experience with both this programs and want to share what I've learned about these relatively new types of opportunities--as well as give others a chance to ask.)
