👟 Female Founders and Funders Walk

Part of Human+ Tech Week — Hosted by Venturous Counsel

Lace up your sneakers and get ready for one of the most refreshing networking experiences in the SF startup world! Venturous Counsel is bringing back their signature Female Founders and Funders Walk on May 14, 2026, kicking off at 2:30 PM at the stunning Salesforce Park.

Forget stiff presentations and awkward cocktail-party small talk — this is a laid-back, scenic stroll through one of San Francisco's most breathtaking elevated parks, designed to spark genuine conversations between women and woman-identifying founders and funders in the startup ecosystem. 🌿💬

📍 Getting There & Meeting Up

Salesforce Park sits above ground level — take the elevators, escalators, or the free gondola up to the 4th level (the gondola is free but can have a queue, so plan accordingly!).

Once up top, head to the amphitheater stage on the southwest end of the park — that's the side opposite the coffee shop, brewery, and food area. We'll gather there for introductions before the walking path begins at 2:45 PM.
