Help For Women Owned Businesses

Women-led teams raise 31% more ROI for investors and are more resilient in an economic downturn, yet only receive approximately 2.4% of Venture Capital funding according to Pitchbook Data. Women for Success is a non-profit on a mission to change that, one Business Shower at a time. Entrepreneurship can feel lonely, but with a community of like-minded founders providing support every step of the way, the journey is less challenging and more rewarding!

Female Founders Forum is an event created by Women for Success, a non-profit organization that provides a supportive community where female entrepreneurs can receive free workshops, tools, resources, e-mentorship, and small business grants. The Forum in being held in collaboration with Capital One and the Networking Maverick.
