Our Why

For Our Organizations:

When we understand and collaborate with each other, we extend our reach, reduce duplication, and get better at our core missions.

For Our Members:

Women already engaged with one of us gain access to a fuller toolkit: warm referrals to the right next step, rather than navigating alone or getting lost in gaps between our organizations.

For Women in Business Broadly:

Women who could benefit from our organizations will know the options available and what path to take. Building visibility and connection across our ecosystem will help Minnesota be the best state for women of all backgrounds to start, grow, and lead a business.

For Our Community:

Build a recognized, navigable ecosystem where no woman leaves money, opportunity, or support on the table simply because she didn't know where to look.

The Women in Business Collaborative is a neutral, volunteer-run collaborative that is not owned by any one member organization.
