Brown Girls, Money Moves | SF Tech Week
Hosted at TINT Gallery in San Francisco during SF Tech Week, Brown Girls, Money Moves brought South Asian women founders, investors, and business leaders together for an evening of candid conversation, meaningful networking, and community.
​
The centerpiece was a live recording of the Brown Girls, Money Moves podcast, featuring Deepika Bodapati, Co-Founder and COO of Commure, and Varsha Rao, an angel investor and former executive at Airbnb, Clover Health, and Nurx. Their founder-investor conversation explored what it takes to build at scale, recognize potential, navigate capital, and build the relationships that help companies grow. The evening continued with audience Q&A, food, drinks, and networking.
​
For Home In Stone Events, this partnership was a natural fit. Brown Girls, Money Moves' mission to empower South Asian women founders, business owners, and investors aligned with our own commitment to celebrating our communities and creating spaces for meaningful connection. We set out to produce an experience that supported the conversation while delivering value to attendees, the client, and participating brand and vendor partners.

Designed for founders.
We assembled attendee goodie bags, coordinated food and drinks, and arranged professional headshots, giving guests tangible takeaways to support their businesses and personal brands beyond the event.
Brand activations with purpose
We brought more activations into TINT Gallery than the venue had ever hosted in its space, transforming the gallery into an interactive brand experience. Highlights included a mobile scent bar and an audio guestbook phone where attendees could leave messages for the brand, creating memorable engagement moments and additional content assets for the client to use beyond event day.
Content with lasting value.
We coordinated photo and video coverage to capture the client’s brand, live podcast experience, and activations. We also created opportunities for vendor partners to showcase their work and services through professional content, extending the value of their participation beyond the event.
Production behind the scenes.
From developing the run of show to coordinating vendor load-in and load-out, we managed the logistics connecting live programming, networking, hospitality, activations, and content teams into one cohesive experience.
HIS EXPERIENCE
HIS Moments |Â SF Tech Week Brown Girl Angels
We believe an event should deliver value beyond the time guests spend in the room.
​
For Brown Girls, Money Moves, that meant creating an environment where South Asian women could learn from leaders who had navigated the founder-investor journey, build relationships with their peers, and engage with brands in meaningful ways.
​
It also meant thinking beyond the attendee experience. Professional headshots supported founders' visibility. The mobile scent bar and audio guestbook created interactive brand moments and additional assets for the brand. Photo and video coverage gave both the client and participating vendors opportunities to extend their visibility beyond event day.
​
Behind it all, detailed production planning brought the programming, networking, hospitality, and activations together seamlessly.
The result: A recorded podcast and networking experience that celebrated South Asian women in business while creating opportunities for connection, brand engagement, and lasting content.
​
That's the HIS Touch: aligning with a client's mission, anticipating what people need, and creating thoughtful experiences that deliver value long after the event ends.
