"I have been involved with startups for many years as an advisor, entrepreneur and investor. I joined The Fourth Floor as it seemed to have strong female founders and a fantastic mission to advocate for more women board seats. Because of this community I met the founder of a AI/ML/Data Science startup. I signed on as a board member very quickly and happily.”

-Cathy Schwallie Farmer Advisor, Investor & Board Member

SUCCESS STORIES & TESTIMONIALS

"The Fourth Floor jump started my relationship with one of the biggest pet brands in the world, PetCo. Through a simple article and The Fourth Floor community, I was introduced to the then CLO of PetCo, Genevieve Kelly. And it was this relationship I built with Genevieve which got SpotOn over the finish line with PetCo. She was not only a mentor but a champion. A champion in the C-suite is what I feel made all the difference. We hope to continue our relationship and have Genevieve potentially join our Board of Directors."

- Aparna Srinivasan, Founder and CEO of SpotOn

When I came to my first dinner at The Fourth Floor I was blown away by the women in the room and thrilled to have the opportunity to get to know them. I had started my company 6 months prior and was just kicking off my first venture capital fundraise. A conversation that started casually with angel investor Diane Henry transitioned to a more meaningful coffee chat and ultimately her investing in The Vendry. I’m incredibly grateful to The Fourth Floor for facilitating that connection for me! "

- Daphne Hoppenot, Founder of The Vendry

"I am so impressed with the women I met at The Fourth Floor soft launch. The founders all had amazing stories and vision, the speakers were thoughtful and provocative, and I left thinking not only was this about time, but that everyone in the room was a rock star."

- Louise Firestone, SVP and General Counsel of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton Inc.

"Since joining The Fourth Floor and attending their happy hours and other events, I have found an intimate way of networking like never before. As a startup, especially in this financial environment, knowledge and introductions are imperative and I’m getting them daily. I’ve been in networking environments before but never like this! These are the new shakers and movers!"

- Cricket Lee, CEO of BOTA (Fashion Tech Science and Data Innovator)
