Women Who Risk Redux

I just want to re-publish the growing list of Women Who Risk and I want to re-assert that if you are a woman co-founder who meets the criteria of:

• Has to be their full-time gig (not a thing they do on the side or that they are doing between jobs)…but they could have been doing it full-time, then been bought by someone else, like Flickr.
• Has to be a founder or a co-founder, but it doesn’t matter what their title is now (some co-founders are Accounting Manager…but they took as much of a risk as the CEO)
• Doesn’t have to be ‘2.0' exactly, but should still be around from 1.0.
• Doesn’t have to be an engineer, but must be at a technology or technology supporting company.
• There should be more than one person at the company, but there are exceptions, depending on the achievements (and I’m not talking making millions or anything).

Please ‘toot your own horn’! Obviously not too many people are doing it for us.

This list is rocking. Once I’m not so stinking busy, I am going to start something…first a conversation, then maybe a get together or two. I’ve met some amazing, incredible women already who are pretty excited about a group that is specifically focused on tempting women into technology entrepreneurship. I’ve started a Google Group. Email me if you want to join us. horsepigcow at gmail.
