I will share this with people -- But I wanted to say that I looked at your LI profile and that I'm a big fan of AARP (Even if I'm several decades too young for it -- My parents get the magazine and briefs and I love reading them).

Hi Sheila, interested in chatting to see if you think we would be a good fit to apply. We are buliding an inclusive health and wellness community and platform for women 50+. It would fit best in Category 5.

Hi Sophie, You should certainly apply to SXSW Pitch and Ask for an application fee waiver. Shhh... the honor most request. You can add my name to the referral. Also, you should consider AARP https://agetechcollaborative.org/events/
