WomenVenture
Empower women to achieve their economic goals
On March 13, WomenVenture hosted “Seeds for Growth”, an event for business owners looking to access capital and grow their businesses. A pitch competition was included as part of the event and we are honored to highlight the three winners; Hallie Rogers, Rachel Anderson, and Shayla Owodunni.
In the dynamic landscape of entrepreneurship, access to capital and resources is crucial for success. For women and BIPOC entrepreneurs, breaking barriers and overcoming systemic challenges often requires specialized support. Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) stand out as key players in fostering inclusive economic growth.
Covering everything from anti-burnout to social justice entrepreneurship, these recommendations from our staff, board, and partners will bring you inspiration, and humor, and give you valuable insights to start or grow your business!
Our state’s child care shortage and affordability challenges have reached crisis levels. Last year, Minnesota saw more than 200 in-home child care providers close their doors, and more than 15 child care centers close.
In the heart of Black History Month, we honor the extraordinary journey of Chaz Sandifer, a shining example of inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs. As the visionary founder and CEO of theNEWmpls, Let Go Let Flow, and Stories Behind the Menu, she epitomizes the entrepreneurial spirit.
If you are an entrepreneur with a registered business and have been selling products or services for at least 3 years and you are looking to learn how to access capital to grow your business, this event is for you!
