Ladies Who Launch provides women entrepreneurs with resources like business plan templates, grant and mentorship programs, and networking opportunities so they can build sustainable businesses.

Launch Story

We started Ladies Who Launch in 2013 when we were both at Square in San Francisco to celebrate International Women’s Day with female owners and operators for small businesses. We heard from so many women that they were seeking Community, Education, and a healthy dose of Inspiration.

From that year on we just saw it grow and grow and now we have done events in San Francisco, Denver, New York, Toronto, Sydney, St. Louis, Stockholm, Belfast, and London.

The people we meet, the stories we hear, and the connections we forge launch us forward. In 2019, we decided to spin it out as its own not-for-profit and we view it as a payback for all the people who helped us along the way. Given the impact women-owned businesses have on their communities and countries, Ladies Who Launch is a force multiplier and we hope you’ll be inspired to come help us out.
