Daily Grommet CEO Jules Pieri made the list... Read the full piece to see who else is included!
Every week I find myself attending events for the startup community here in Boston and Cambridge. Six months ago there were probably an average of five women in the room on any given night, including myself. That might even be pushing it. The BostInno team is now seeing more and more women getting involved in the startup community. There are a lot of amazing women out there who have done what you are doing, ladies. Call them Ladypreneurs, if you will.
Everyone is always talking about how supportive our community is for startupers looking to form a company. The women have not let us down. These successful, strong women have started companies here in the Greater Boston Area, and they are resources to us all. We can learn from the building of their companies, we can follow their footsteps, and by their sheer existence as powerful females, they can help us think outside the box.
Ladypreneurs, if you want to start thinking like an entrepreneur you should surround yourself with other women who have done it and are now running startups here in Massachusetts. Follow these women, monitor their Twitter feeds, and learn from them. Included in italics below each Ladypreneur on our list is a recent tweet we feel demonstrates the value they supply their followers.
Without further ado, here are our 12 favorite local Ladypreneurs on Twitter:
