Tonight we had a phenomenal monthly event, with the lovely Elizabeth Prenger, the Co-Founder of Assicle. Our board member, Kati Moore, sat with Elizabeth and walked her through some impactful questions and insights: Assicle is a Product that initialized during the middle of COVID with cross-country female friends on a Wednesday Night with a glass of Wine! Current Barriers for Female Entrepreneurs: ⁃ Access to Capital ⁃ Lack of Women’s Health Business Models ⁃ Lack of Mentorship — It was hard to find mentors that really understood the mission What are the stats? ⁃ Women in entrepreneurship in healthcare: approx 15% How do we ensure we are valued with our services as females? ⁃ Having a Mentor who has walked the path you are currently going through Advice for Future Female Entrepreneurs: ⁃ Trust yourself ⁃ Break the model ⁃ Ask Questions ⁃ It’s OK to disrupt ⁃ DO NOT wait for perfection Such an amazing night! Thank you Lina Scroggins for joining us and sharing your insights as well! #womenintechnwa #WITNWA #femalefounders Kati Moore Crystal Wagner Evelyn Williams Annie Alvarez Sean Shasteen Jw Palmer II Tiffany Benitez- CSM, SAFe, ITIL Elizabeth Prenger Lina Scroggins

Tonight is the night!!! Come join us from 6:30-7:30pm. Our monthly event will be held at Social Project Brewing Company in Bentonville, AR. 🎙🗣 You will be hearing from Elizabeth Prenger on "What You Need to Know From Female Founders." Maybe you are thinking of starting your own business or just want to understand more about entrepreneurship. Understanding your unique strengths and challenges is essential to success. Building a solid network, embracing resilience, and learning to advocate for yourself are key. It's crucial to navigate funding biases, as research shows that women receive only a small fraction of venture capital. Always be prepared to showcase the value of your business clearly and confidently. Remember, your voice and perspective are powerful assets that can drive innovation and change and Elizabeth is going to lead us through understanding some of this! Tickets to all of our monthly events are FREE, just register here to reserve your spot: https://lnkd.in/g7WWEWsF #FemaleFounders #WomenInBusiness #Entrepreneurship #womenintechnwa #WITNWA #learningandgrowth #techcommunity Tiffany Benitez- CSM, SAFe, ITIL Teresa Mills Crystal Wagner Tara Kendrick Evelyn Williams Maria L.
