JAN. 21, 2020 – Twelve game-changing and industry-disrupting women founders have been selected to participate in the 2020 Women Entrepreneurs Boot Camp (WEB) in Seattle.
WEB is the signature program of Davis Wright Tremaine's Project W, which helps women build great companies and advance their careers. After four successful years in New York, Project W is bringing WEB to Seattle in collaboration with the technologists, investors, and C-level executives in the region who are committed to supporting the next generation of tech companies led by women.
