IDEA-STAGE WOMEN
FOUNDERS
You have a spark deep inside and want to create something, but maybe you aren’t sure what it looks like. Let’s get you to the next step.
When you’re just getting started as a founder, it’s important to develop key internal elements while you build the road map for your idea. These not may seem obvious at first, but lay the groundwork for later, enabling you to:
- Strengthen and retain your confidence
- Prioritize your self-care
- Build the foundation for a strong support network
- Develop your agility to manage the unexpected
- Acknowledge your wins along the journey
- Share the impact you want to make
