We had an incredible evening with Anine Bing May 14th. This was a special edition of Second Degree where we broght together founders and funders in San Francisco. The goal was to create a space where both builders and investors could feel comfortable chatting about the things that are top of mind for them, while also trading notes on their favorite pilates studio in the city.

April 30th, we hosted an amazing evening of connection with The Finerie on Fillmore St. The guest list included women working in different fields, with different interests, and all looking to have meaningful connection.
