 Written by [Ella](https://www.lxahub.com/stories/author/ella) | 8 December, 2017

**Heather Cabot** is an entrepreneur, bestselling author and advocate for women in technology. Her debut book and digital platform, **Geek Girl Rising**, sets out to crush male hacker stereotypes and inspire the next generation. 

**Why we love her**

Heather has shone a light on the sisterhood that is shaking up the technology space. While historically a male-orientated environment, more women are emerging and Heather is doing her bit to encourage it.

Heather is an Angel investor, where she utilises her expertise and affluent position to help mostly female-led startup ventures get off the ground.
