Each Spring, Astia awards VCs from throughout the US who are leaders in investing in women-led companies in the prior year. These awards, based on data from VentureOne, are presented at our Annual Awards for VCs Investing in Women* to an audience of nearly 400 in Silicon Valley. In 2007, we expanded these awards to include the Award for Leadership in Mentoring for the individual who has shown leadership in mentoring women CEOs in technology-based fields. Bill Campbell, Chairman of Intuit, received the inaugural award, having been selected following a thorough nomination process.
