In celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, Embarc Collective is excited to introduce you to Women in Tech Tampa Bay — a content series profiling the women who are building at Embarc Collective and how they’ve scaled their careers.
We all know the woeful stats of women in the technology field: in 2020, women comprise only 5% of leadership positions at tech startups (source: Economist) and raised just 2.3% of venture capital funding (source: All Raise). With this series, we #ChoosetoChallenge these statistics by amplifying the stories of women founders and startup operators who are in our own backyard.
Meet the women building technology startups at Embarc Collective:
- April Caldwell, CEO of fayVen
- Ally Gannon, Marketing Director at Synapse
- Basha Ferdinand, Director of Partner Success at Synapse
- Ellery Linder, Co-CEO of Wherewithal
- Emily Cartafalsa, Product Owner at SiteZeus

- SaLisa Berrien, CEO of COI Energy
- Sheron Brown, Executive Director of the Tampa Bay Healthcare Collaborative

We welcome you to connect with these women, share their stories, feature them as speakers during your events, and invest in their companies. Together, let’s build a local tech culture where women are leading and shaping the future.
