announced the 6.0 cohort of the WIC Microsoft

Co-founder, Women in Cloud was thrilled about the
next part of the journey. Commenting on the
mission she said, The irony is spectacular an
industry fueling trillion-dollar economic impact
has less than 8 percent patents belonging to
women as primary inventors, women with less than
one-fifth of spots on the boards and just 2.3
percent of VC funding goes to women-owned
startups. A change is critical. At Women in Cloud
Microsoft Accelerator, our vision is to create a
steady flow of enterprise-ready cloud solutions
that will increase female founder representation
in the supplier ecosystem while unlocking one
billion dollars in net new cloud economy. Our
mission has just begun. The Cloud Accelerator
combines structured training, access to industry
leaders, industry events, self-learning content,
and more, all via digital platforms making the

worldwide. The Women in Cloud leadership is
