The Women's Technology Cluster

The Women's Technology Cluster is a nonprofit incubator in San Fransisco that's home to 10 new Internet and technology companies where women hold a major equity stake. Launched in February 1999, the Cluster is a kind of learning laboratory for start-ups. Start-up founders get mentoring and support from experienced business leaders. Entrepreneurs share office resources as well as information, contacts, and support. At the core of the Cluster is the idea that you're more likely to be successful if you don't go it alone.
