Women2.0 held their annual event this past weekend at Stanford and over 300 attendees came to watch 5 tech companies with over 50% female ownership pitch. Here are some pictures from the event.

Congratulations to the Koolage, who won the main prize, and to Gaiagy, who won the People’s Choice award for the event. Koolage took home a prize of over $15,000 in business services and a private meeting with Esther Dyson, CEO of EDventure and serial angel investor (member of the NY Angels). Included in the package was a free submission to the Investor Community!

The event definitely drew a lot of attention from the startup community and even got some coverage on TechCrunch, the Guidewire blog, and the local news. Judges included Chris Shipley (Guidewire Group), Anurag Nigam (Sandhill Angels), Katherine Barr (Mohr Davidow Ventures), and Patricia Roller (Angels’ forum). Great to see so many familiar faces!

I had the chance to meet with Shaherose and Aihui yesterday, so I want to say congratulations to them for such a successful event.

Angelsoft was the software sponsor and really enjoyed the opportunity to help support the Women 2.0 community.
