Tech leader creates statewide women-empowering platform

Not many people can say they maintain two C-suite roles at the same time. As if being the chief marketing officer at software firm Revstar wasn’t enough to fill her days, Raechel Canipe is also founder and CEO of Women in Tech and Entrepreneurship — a cohort that started as a happy hour in Tampa in 2022 and has since grown into 3,000 members in six chapters statewide. 

“We’re incredibly motivated and interested,” Canipe says of women in the technology field. Her own experiences with harassment, in addition to those of women she met in her career, inspired her decision to launch Women in Tech.
