It's a fantastic idea! Would love to hear more about user acquisition, as it was unclear. Not sure why the speaking gigs should be free, I think paid gigs would actually provide a great business model for you guys, where you take a cut on each transaction.

Looks fantastic. Would be keen to promote this. Would love to understand more about how you would plan to keep momentum of panellist acquisition going.

Look for ways to automate the acquisition of event organisers and events so that you don't become the bottleneck for acquisition.

I recommend partnering with event planners and early in the event planning cycle.

Great idea - helping women find panel and speaking opps!

Really great setup of the problem, and a direct solution for the lack of female voices on the panel. Great thought on monetization. Freemium (or tiered subscriptions) is a great filter for company dedication. -I'd suggest have means and/or size-based pricing, which would allow smaller events/companies to participate as well. Bonus points: Could this solution help female speakers be compensated for their time?

an issue that needs to be addressed, great work on your demo. great tool, but to commercialise would need marketing investment to generate demand as well as supply via development of profiles. Would be good to better understand how the platform would be monetised.

I love that the HTP will allow a male conference panellist like me find a woman to take my seat on a panel. I also like that the team have thought about safeguarding women against trolling by thinking about what information to make public/private.
