The Fourth Effect is an online social networking platform founded by an Alaskan that is designed to connect entrepreneurs with women investors and board candidates. The Fourth Effect in the 49th is working to create an Alaskan network of founders and women board/investor candidates and to provide that network with access to larger The Fourth Effect platform. We currently have funding to provide a number of free Fourth Effect memberships to founders and women board/investor candidates. This event will include a short moderated discussion with Alaskan founders/business owners and board members about their experiences, followed by mingling to build connections--all founders and women interested in board service are welcome. There will be an opportunity for those interested who are not already Fourth Effect in the 49th participants to sign up at the event.
