GirlTank: A Sisterhood of Changemakers

Sejal Hathi and Tara Roberts found each other coincidentally while independently pursuing their dream of empowering young women worldwide. These dynamic young women joined forces and founded Girltank, an online community supporting young entrepreneurs doing exceptional things. "All around the world girls are starting promising projects," says Sejal, "yet there was no infrastructure for them to sustain their work and be recognized as real innovators." Girltank provides a forum for girls interested in similar causes to collaborate, hosts a database of video clips featuring girls discussing challenges they face in their respective projects, and provides a crowd-funding platform to raise money for promising ventures. "I believe it's time for a woman-led movement to change the world," says Tara Roberts, "focused on principles like compassion, cooperation, and empathy."
