Wednesday Google hosted a special edition of their annual "Demo Day" event featuring 11 early-stage startup companies founded by women from eight different countries. More than 450 women from 40 different counties applied for a spot, and the winner of the competition was Bridgit, a fast-growing Canadian company which provides a mobile communications platform for construction teams. Online voters also awarded the "Game Changer" title to KiChing, a startup that's actively addressing Mexico's unique e-commerce challenges. But all of the startups at Wednesday's event were already actively raising series-A funding, and "We aim to help connect them to mentors, access to capital, and shine a spotlight on their efforts," said Mary Grove, the director of Google for Entrepreneurs, addressing the Demo Day audience in San Francisco.

I think the number of AC's in this thread are causing some confusion (I think I count at least 3).
I should actually register an account.

Yes, maybe I should! It would help with the gender confusion here. I'm Pat.

Lol. Nice to meet you, Pat. Have you decided on a gender yet? They tell me it's a big decision, but I just don't get it. Apparently, they force you into choosing one despite your biology. I knew an intersexed guy/girl once, and she couldn't even.
