3 Tennessee Cities Host ‘She Started It’ Documentary Screening and Discussion

- Startup Southerner -

It’s a tale of a startup life, told over two years as they pitch VCs, build teams, bring products to market, fail and start again. You may have lived this life, or have wondered what it all looks like.  

The documentary takes viewers on a global roller coaster ride from San Francisco to Mississippi, France and Vietnam. Along the way, it weaves in big-picture perspectives from investor Joanne Wilson; White House CTO Megan Smith; GoldieBlox CEO Debbie Sterling; and Ruchi Sanghvi, engineer at Facebook.

By the way, the five founders are all women, and the film was directed by a woman.

Here is the trailer:

And now, She Started It, the documentary empowering the next generation of female founders, makes its world premiere at the Mill Valley Film Festival on Oct. 8 and then will be on a screening tour that will include three cities in Tennessee: Memphis, Chattanooga and Nashville. In addition to the screening of the film, director Nora Poggi will also be in attendance for all of the events.

We hope you can catch this one-time screening, conversation and inspiration at a city near you. In celebration of the Tennessee screening tour, we will also be featuring the women founders who started it in Tennessee in the coming weeks. If you are a woman founder in Tennessee, please give us a shout at hello at startupsoutherner dot com.
