Our Programs
Our Unique Approach
Gain the tools you need to activate your unique leadership, and build a successful business with lasting impact.
Our tailored programs uniquely prepare female founders to successfully build, run and scale companies in a way that is authentic to the founders style, mission, and values. As a founder or co-founder, you will work side by side in a small cohort with other founding teams and will meet weekly with industry leaders and dedicated mentors. Each company is paired with a Champion who will act as your advisor throughout the program.
