She is the recipient of the Women's Society of CyberJutsu Pentest Ninja award.

Georgia Weidman Speaking Topics
This is the story of how a 14-year-old high school dropout ended up paired talking about iPhones with Tim Cook on the national news. How a technical practitioner whose only knowledge of business came from the Facebook movie became a funded startup founder by walking into a glass door on her first day at a startup accelerator. How that weird kid with funny hats ended up with government research funding but didn’t know what an invoice was to get the money. How the girl who everyone thought was just a member’s girlfriend at the local hacker meeting gave her first talk at Shmoocon and filled the room by offering free beer at 9am from a little red wagon. Through a series of vignettes, Georgia will discuss how she got here and how you can too!
This is an interesting talk in that it combines diversity, equity, and inclusion with women in technology with a focus on neurodiversity and, of course, is predicated upon Georgia’s personal journey to success in cybersecurity.
In this talk we will take a dive into the exciting world of turning your hacking tool into a successful product company and how to avoid the common pitfalls encountered by the speaker and her merry band of startup world survivors. We will cover exciting topics such as venture capital funding, startup accelerators, and making your first sale. We will also discuss not as exciting but equally important topics as corporate structures, hiring a CEO, and board meetings. Filled with info and direct quotes from real security practitioners turned startup founders, venture capital investors, and serial expert advisors, this talk will get you ready to start down the path of your own startup journey, or run screaming in the other direction.
