Dear alumni,
Please find the information of Week #4 of Weekly Women Entrepreneurship!
Next week on Montclair State University’s virtual campus we’ll focus on Women Entrepreneurs Supporting other Women Entrepreneurs, dynamic leaders who pay it forward with their work.
Our featured founder is Jill Johnson, Co-Founder of the Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership and Founder of Women of Color Connecting and the Making Black Angels movement. You may have caught Jill on stage last week at TechUnited:NJ’s Propelify Innovation Festival in conversation with New Jersey First Lady Tammy Murphy, discussing our state’s support of Golden Seeds, an early-stage investment firm focused on women-led businesses. Jill has been a pioneering and unrelenting voice for inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems and has supported thousands of entrepreneurs with resources and programs
We’re also excited to share a conversation between Kimberly Weisul, Editor-at-Large, Inc. Magazine (also creator of The Fundery, a searchable database of venture funds with a mandate to invest in under-represented founders) and Karen Cahn, Founder and CEO of IFundWomen, also Montclair State University’s Entrepreneur-in-Residence.
We’re halfway through our series! We’re confident you’ll learn a lot this week.
