Women’s Innovation Lab

Be sure to review program requirements for this certificate

This course is designed to support women in their journey as emerging entrepreneurs. Collaborative and affirming in nature, its purpose is to bolster and empower women founders by providing methods and tools for overcoming the obstacles many female entrepreneurs face. Students will cultivate leadership skills, acquire knowledge and adapt the learning to their specific context to maximize their chance for success. They will be afforded the opportunity to explore the tenets of entrepreneurship and risk-taking in a supportive and contributive environment, learning from successful coaches and established, seasoned entrepreneurs. Moreover, this course will address equity: Women founders often outperform, yet there exists a pervasive equity and funding gap. This course will help shift that narrative.

This certificate is only available as a private offering. Please email Richelle Bess if you would like more information.
