In 1995, at WITI’s very first conference, Gloria Steinem stood before a room filled with women in technology and saw something extraordinary.

She saw a community that had the potential not simply to participate in the technology revolution, but to help shape it.

Gloria reminded us that women had always been leaders in technology. She challenged us to change the definition of the game itself and to think deeply about the values behind the technologies we create.

She believed technology should ultimately serve humanity.

Looking at the women gathered in that room, Gloria described what was happening as potentially becoming “the heart of an entire Revolution.”

And then came the phrase that has remained part of WITI’s story ever since:

“This is one hell of a butterfly.”

Gloria Steinem passed away on September 2 at the age of 92. Today, the entire WITI community honors her remarkable life, her courage, her advocacy, and the belief she placed in our young organization more than three decades ago.

Her words feel especially meaningful today.

As AI and emerging technologies transform how we live, work, lead, and connect, WITI remains committed to ensuring that women have a powerful voice in shaping what comes next. The technology may have changed dramatically since 1995, but the responsibility Gloria challenged us to embrace has only grown.

We are deeply grateful that Gloria chose to spend that extraordinary afternoon with WITI and that her words became part of our history.

We invite our community to watch and remember with us.

And to everyone who was with us at that first WITI conference, we would love to hear your memories in the comments.

Thirty-one years later, the work continues.

And the butterfly is still flying. 🦋

🚨 Is AI in a bubble — or are we watching the infrastructure for the next decade being built in real time?

That’s one of the big questions we’ll tackle tomorrow at noon during our August LinkSV-WITI Tech, Talent & Investment Trends webinar.

July was another huge month for Silicon Valley startup funding, with more than $14 BILLION invested.

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

Follow the money and you start seeing where investors believe the next opportunities are:

⚡ Power
🖥️ Compute & AI infrastructure
💾 Semiconductors
🤖 Robotics
🔐 Security
🏭 Advanced manufacturing
🧠 Applied AI

And August is already raising the stakes.

Databricks just raised another $5 BILLION at a $190B valuation.

Six months ago: $138B valuation.
A year earlier: $62B.

Meanwhile, billions more are being committed to the power, chips and data centers required to support the AI buildout.

So where are we headed?

AI bubble — or the beginning of an entirely new technology and infrastructure cycle?

Tomorrow, Bob and I will dig into:

→ July startup funding and the biggest deals
→ AI valuations and megadeals
→ Where early-stage capital is flowing
→ AI infrastructure, power and compute
→ New VC funds and investor activity
→ M&A and liquidity
→ Accelerators, incubators and new Silicon Valley arrivals
→ The opportunities we're seeing beneath the headline numbers

If you're a founder, investor, corporate executive or anyone trying to understand where Silicon Valley is heading next, I hope you'll join us.

📅 Tomorrow — August 14
⏰ 12:00 PM Pacific

What do you think: AI bubble, infrastructure supercycle…or both?
