Absolutely none of this progress would have been possible without the incredible generosity of our supporters. On behalf of each of us at Ladies Who Launch, thank you. 💖 Sarah Friar Kelly McGonigle Squier Aaron Zamost Anna Collins David Riley Elena Gomez Frédérique Campagne Irwin Rosie Rios 'Tokunboh Ishmael, CFA

Many entrepreneurs, like Payal Kadakia, Founder of ClassPass, thrive best in environments they create themselves. Creating your own business is a chance to let your true colors shine—your cultural and artistic background, your unique skills and talents, and everything in between. At Ladies Who Launch, we encourage leaning into what makes you unique, and we're here to support you. We're a community of women & non-binary small business owners who believe in the power of creating our own opportunities. As we head into 2024, let's create a world where we all have the opportunity to carve out our own place in it. Happy New Year from all of us at Ladies Who Launch!
