Hello Elphas, I'll be attending and speaking at a women in tech event soon. I figured I would ask what would you like to hear from a speaker today. I can certainly talk about my journey but what would be incredibly supportive or enlightening that I can communicate while up there? Here for your comments! Delna

Not sure what you can make of this, but something I struggle with a lot is "I don't know what I don't know". I'm a founder, and I'm bootstrapped. When I started on my journey, there was no one in my circle who had ever started a company before and I didn't know where to find people who had. Without community or anyone to ask questions to, I had to learn everything the hard way. One thing I did know, was that I was probably doing some things wrong. But I didn't know what they were, so how could I google how to fix them? And I didn't know anyone doing what I was doing, so how could I ask for help? Perhaps it'd be interesting if you discussed situations like these and what you did to persevere.
