Overcome the obstacles in the way of women entrepreneurs and founders

In The Future Built by Women, Startup Product Leader of Riveter and veteran keynote speaker, Brooke Markevicius, delivers a compelling guide to entrepreneurship for women. With a particular focus on the technology sector, the author shares her fascinating and relevant experiences as a company founder. She explains the four main factors that contribute to success: grit, education, mindset, and support.
