Our Mission
To cultivate a global community where women entrepreneurs connect, thrive, and lead—with shared resources, inspiration, and collective impact. Whether you’re launching a startup or scaling an enterprise, GWEN is your global sisterhood—a place to build with purpose, elevate with community, and lead with impact
Why We Exist
Despite growing opportunities, female founders often face systemic barriers—limited access to funding, fragmented support networks, and underrepresentation in leadership circles. GWEN was created to dismantle these barriers and ensure women around the world can confidently start and scale businesses by learning from and supporting each other.
