What we’re about
Women of Color Entrepreneurs are the fastest growing sector of entrepreneurs. Statistically a minimum of under 5% sustain their business 5 years past inception. Lack of adequate funding opportunities, access to resources, and limited support systems tend to be the top reasons for our short business lifespan. To mitigate these barriers and open more opportunities, women of color owners and founders are in need of an Experienced Network specifically designed to speak to their explicit exigencies.
On average over 1K women of color register a new business daily, that does not account for the ones that are unregistered. In order for us to change the success rate of these aspiring entrepreneurs, there must be a process to help guide them through the necessary stages of Business Development. There is a lot of information out there that tends to overwhelm the new entrepreneur in general, however when you are a "First-Generation" aspiring entrepreneur without a solid support team, you tend to build your journey into entrepreneurship missing key components vital for success.
What sets us apart from other networks mainly is, we are the first public network that primarily focuses on global educational platforms and resources for women of color, and like-minded supporters to eliminate the common barriers we tend to encounter throughout our entrepreneurial experience. We provide a guided track of trainings designed to meet and support our members bettering their chances of overcoming the statistical closures that women of color experience at a higher rate than our sister entrepreneurs of non-color ethnicities.
We start from inception into expansion navigating the decision-making processes, financial planning, and systematic biases that tend to mitigate our access to equal opportunities. We are NOT a racial-driven organization, anyone that recognizes the micro biases that overwhelm the opportunities of underserved, underrepresented, and economically disadvantaged individuals will benefit from our Exceptional Approach.
