It’s #internationalwomensday, and today is an important day to celebrate and recognize BCV’s community of incredible women, starting with some of our founders who represent every stage of company-building across our four core domains - fintech, application software, infrastructure and commerce tech.
This year, we are sharing more about these inspiring founders building iconic businesses and transformative technologies.
