Our Top Recommendations for Online Communities
As an entrepreneur, having a supportive community is crucial, especially for female founders navigating unique challenges. Some of us are lucky to have that IRL. Maybe you come from a family of entrepreneurs or maybe you’re a savvy networker that has built up a support system. We love to see it, but the truth of the matter is that not all of us have that. Several organizations have emerged to fill the gap. They empower, connect, and provide resources tailored specifically for women entrepreneurs, so that we can thrive mentally, socially, and financially.
