MeetMe Co-Founder and Vice President of Brand Strategy to Speak at SXSW

Catherine Cook will address difficulties faced by female entrepreneurs

MeetMe, Inc. (NYSE MKT:MEET), the public market leader for social discovery, announced today that Co-founder and Vice President of Brand Strategy Catherine Cook will speak this week at SXSW. Cook’s presentation, titled “Starting Up in a Man’s World,” will focus on some of the challenges female entrepreneurs face when launching a tech startup.

“Starting Up in a Man’s World” will highlight the traits unique to women that can be huge strengths in the entrepreneurial journey through the male-dominated tech industry. In her presentation, Cook will share her personal story – from co-founding her own company at the age of 15 years old to being on the management team of a successful, publicly-traded company today.

“There are very few female entrepreneurs and leaders, especially in the tech industry,” said Cook. “While being a woman might seem like a disadvantage in that regard, I believe that women actually possess many qualities that can make us much stronger entrepreneurs. My ultimate goal is to empower potential female entrepreneurs and help them recognize those valuable qualities.”

Cook’s presentation, part of the Future15 series, will be on Friday, March 7th at 3:30 p.m. in Ballroom F of the Austin Convention Center.
