Leveraging AI & Strategic Insights for Women in Business

The funding journey for women in business—especially women of color—is fraught with systemic barriers. And the numbers don't lie. 

Only 1.9% of venture capital funding goes to all-women teams, with women of color receiving a mere 0.39%. Yet, with the right access, specific and focused strategies, tools, and collaborative spirit , we can and we will demystify these challenges and create pathways to success for all!

Why Collaboration is Key for Women in Business

Women in business have always been at the forefront of innovation, starting businesses at higher rates than any other group. However, the funding landscape continues to undervalue this potential. Only 1.9% of venture capital funding goes to all-women teams, with women of color receiving a mere 0.39%. These disparities are not just numbers; they represent the urgent need for culturally relevant programming and equity-driven leadership to reshape the system.

Our December 12 workshop is designed to equip women entrepreneurs with tools and strategies to overcome these barriers—because when women thrive, businesses and communities flourish.
