Ladies Who Launch

From our grassroots beginnings in 2013 to an official in 501(c)3, the mission of Ladies Who Launch has always been the same: to provide tactical support, funding opportunities, and educational programs to under-resourced women entrepreneurs. Women-owned businesses are a driving force in the US economy, accounting for 39.2% of all organizations, and generating $3.3 trillion dollars in annual revenue. Studies suggest that achieving gender parity in entrepreneurship could add anywhere from $2.5 trillion to $6 trillion dollars to the global GDP. Unfortunately only 16% of conventional small business loans are given to women founders, and less than <2% of all venture capital funding worldwide goes to women founders. Ladies Who Launch is generously powered by the support of individuals and institutions who believe in the potential of women entrepreneurs. We champion economic opportunity, gender equity, and stronger communities everywhere.
