Event Details

  • Do you wonder what it REALLY takes to start your own business?
  • Are you tired of thinking about your business idea and never doing anything about it?
  • Would you like to be part of a supportive and inspiring group of smart women?

Become a Fearless Entrepreneur is a six-month program that will help new and aspiring entrepreneurs take steps toward making their business dreams a reality. This program has been designed BY entrepreneurs FOR entrepreneurs.

This not a dull business planning program – it is a laboratory where you can experiment while being supported by a community of other like-minded women. 

The program includes:

  • Monthly meetings where you can brainstorm and learn about business planning concepts in an approachable and engaging format. 
  • Monthly “Challenges” that will help you “try-on” your business ideas.
  • Monthly peer group meetings where groups of 4-5 women meet to support you and keep you moving forward.
  • Access to marketing, legal, and financial experts who will answer your burning questions.
  • Coaching and Mentoring Program where you will be able to meet one-on-one to get clarity, figure out next steps and stay on track.  
  • All program materials
  • First year membership to the Fearless Women Coop
  • One-year membership to Future Women Leaders (for non-member pricing) 

At the end of the program, participants will have completed a draft of their business plan, their financial modeling and will have the opportunity to practice their pitch and get feedback, if they choose to.

  • Motivated women who want to vet or develop an entrepreneurial idea
