Start Her Up: Getting Your Business Started

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

On April 15th, 2010 I participated in an amazing start up fair for women entrepreneurs called “Start Her Up: Getting Your Business Started” hosted by In Good Company Workplaces and Baby Bites.

The evening started with a group of women at various tables offering their time to help other women who needed help starting their business with free mini consultations in their field of expertise. I was at a table offering web consultations on the topics of: Web Design, Logo Design, Wordpress, Twitter, Facebook, Social Media, Blogging and Search Engine Optimization. The room filled quickly, and it turned into a very lively session of Q&A for the women at each table.

The evening continued with a Q&A panelist session led by Adelaide & Amy of In Good Company. The women in this panel were hand picked to represent a robust and diverse group of women entrepreneurs. They shared the challenges they went through when starting their business, how they grew their business and what resources helped them most. It was a very insightful panel that left me feeling empowered with tools to further grow my own business. The panelists included:

Marissa Lippert, Nourish Nutrition Counseling & Communications

Andreea Ayers, Tees for Change

Emily Wolper, E. Wolper Inc.

Lisa Bochner, The Wonder Girls

Jodi Katz, Just Say Jodi

Regina Angeles, Talent2050

Mary Ann Schwanewede, Metro Tots

This is not a fair to be missed, the careful attention to the women presented here and resources offered were a powerful combination of resources for women looking to start their own business.
