We are ending Women’s History Month with a fireside chat & mixer with Co-Founders of Refer – Lauren Smith (CEO) and Michael Montero (CTO)!
They will share more about their journey from operators to founders, their passion about leveraging networks to find jobs and new hires, and also creating a diverse, inclusive, and equitable culture!
There will be a moderated fireside chat, open Q&A, and time for mingling and networking over complimentary drinks and light bites. Learn from and meet the speakers, and also make new friends with other founders, investors, hiring managers, and leaders in business and tech!
All approved attendees will need to create a free profile on
http://getreferred.co/invite (takes 3 mins!), which will allow you to refer friends and earn money (up to thousands of dollars $$) or hire top talent (for hiring managers)!
