 From the heart of Silicon Valley, it's The Cube. Covering CloudNOW's seventh annual Top Women Entrepreneurs in Cloud Innovation Awards. Hi, Lisa Martin on the ground with The Cube at Facebook headquarters at the seventh annual CloudNOW Top Women in Cloud Innovation Awards. We are here for our third time with the founder of CloudNOW, Jocelyn DeGance Graham. Jocelyn, it is great to have you back. Great to be back here for your seventh annual CloudNOW. We are just so delighted to be here with you, Lisa and The Cube and all of the support and wonderful help that you've given us through the years for this event. So you have a lot of firsts that I wanted to cover and now we've just got a few minutes of your time. Seventh annual, as I mentioned, your CloudNOW community now boasts over 1,500 members. There's over 300 attendees here tonight. And tell us what was really unique about how easy it was to track this audience. Well, we've never had such a great response for this event, Lisa. And some of that could just be the timing. It is finally an idea whose time has come, right? And so there just seems to be such a groundswell of understanding the importance of inclusion and diversity and beyond that actually creating belonging, right? So more and more, I feel like there's such an actual enthusiasm that we hadn't seen before. So this year, we didn't actually publish tickets or let people know that tickets were available. Everything was essentially sold through word of mouth. And so we never even published any tickets and we sold out of the event. And that was definitely a first for us. Another first is being here, not only being here at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California, but also having Cheryl Sandberg as one of the keynote speakers this evening. It is such an honor. You know, she is one of the women who has just been so important in terms of the seminal movement of women in tech. Like many women, I read her book, Lean In Years ago. And the fact that she's here with us tonight at the event after having inspired an entire movement is really significant and we're just thrilled. Another thing that's really interesting and a unique first for Cloud Now this year is you're recognizing 10 female tech entrepreneurs who are technical founders. Technical founders, please, Seth. Of venture-backed businesses. That's absolutely right. How you've been able to achieve that because their backgrounds are diverse and the technologies that they're designing and driving are really incredible. But this is one of the most, I think, exciting firsts about the event this year is in past events, we were recognizing women that had made major contributions in a technical field. And we were recognizing women regardless of the level or role of responsibility in the organization. Now we had largely done that because there were so few female founders of venture-funded startups. This year was an absolute breakthrough year for many different reasons. There are organizations now like always.org that are supported by women VCs. And there just seems to be an entire groundswell of female founders. And we were able to this year for the first time align the criteria around female technical founders. And I'm really hoping that moving forward we'll be able to continue with that as more and more women realize that they should be starting businesses and they can get venture-backing. And we're excited to talk to those winners tonight and ask, how did you go about doing that? How did you, what were your inspirations and how did you kind of combat those fears and just the history of the challenge of getting funding there. Another thing that I noticed on the Cloud Now website is one of your taglines is together we can make a difference. And just the last minute or so, give me some examples of how you're helping to make a difference that really resonate with you and that give you inspiration for your 2019 goals. That's such a great question. So for me really one of the most heartening things about the organization is that the work we're doing together and put through our scholarship program. So we're identifying the next generation of both female and minority leaders in tech and we're investing in them through our STEM scholarship fund. This year we have funders, our funders include Google, Intel and Facebook and we're really hoping to be able to expand that scope next year, Lisa, to increase the number of students we're helping. This year we're also, in addition to women, we are helping minority students as well and for next year we're wanting to expand those categories even further and being able to support people with disabilities. So we're really hoping that, you know, to create this kind of very strong fabric of the community coming together and really giving each other support. And Jocelyn, thank you so much for having theCUBE back for the third year in a row and congratulations on the groundswell that you're capitalizing on and that you're helping to create. We congratulate you and we appreciate your time. Lisa, it's always a pleasure. I love speaking with you. Thanks so much for coming. Likewise. We want to thank you for watching theCUBE.
