The JumpFund will be hosting a one-time screening of "She Started It" at the Chattanooga Public Library, fourth floor, on Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 5:30 p.m.
"She Started It" follows five young women over two years as they pitch VCs, build teams, bring products to market, fail and start again. "She Started It" takes viewers on a global roller coaster ride from San Francisco to Mississippi, France and Vietnam. Along the way, it weaves in big-picture perspectives from women like investor Joanne Wilson; White House CTO Megan Smith; GoldieBlox CEO Debbie Sterling; and Ruchi Sanghvi, the first female engineer at Facebook.
"Help us inspire the next generation to dream bigger, and urge today’s generation to support women entrepreneurs," officials said. "The JumpFund is pleased to partner with the Company Lab, Carbon Five, The Enterprise Center, Lamp Post Group, Miller and Martin, and Mad Bad andDangerous/GPS, who have helped bring this important, timely movie to our local audience. The screening will be followed by a Q & A with the director, Nora Poggi, as well as co-star of the film, Sheena Allen."
