What is the magic ingredient that makes women join tech startups or other organizations in tech? Impact. And what makes The Hague the place to be for that impact to come to fruition?
To find the answer, listen to the 28th episode of Women Disrupting Tech. This week, I got a chance to have an enlightening conversation with Irene Samwel from ImpactCity and Arianne van der Linden from Kwebbel about what making an impact is like.
ImpactFest, Kwebbel, and the magic powers of collaboration and a positive mindset on making an impact – Women Disrupting Tech
About this episode of Women Disrupting Tech
In this episode, you’ll learn how you facilitate impact as a municipality, how you create it with an impact startup, and how people who want to make an impact come together at ImpactFest.
But we also speak about how the funding of impact startups sets the example for startup investments, in the sense that diversity in teams is one of the investment criteria. And, of course, we talk about what magic ingredients would be needed to make Women Disrupting Tech obsolete 10 years from now. The answers? Collaboration and a positive mindset.
