Empowering Women Entrepreneurs in Michigan

The Women’s Entrepreneurial Fellowship addresses what happens after the initial success of building a business. When entrepreneurs have proven what they’re capable of, but find themselves navigating increasingly complex challenges without adequate support systems designed for their stage of growth.

If you’re not a woman entrepreneur yourself, chances are you know someone who would thrive in this program—please share this opportunity with your network!

Here’s what fellows can expect:

• Monthly Full-Day Workshops: Real-world sessions focused on the challenges of scaling a business—financial strategy, team leadership, long-term planning—and space to ask the tough questions.
• One-on-One Mentorship: Personalized guidance from seasoned mentors who help translate workshop insights into actionable steps.
• Peer Collaboration: A powerful network of women entrepreneurs who become sounding boards, collaborators, and trusted allies.
• Expert Coaching: Targeted sessions with subject-matter experts to assess and strengthen key areas of each business.

📅 Applications are due early next week—don’t wait!

“Honestly, if you’re a woman business owner in the area or the state of Michigan, this is one of those opportunities that I would not pass up. It brings you a group of people who understand what you’re going through and can elevate your business along with yourself.” – Lillian Werbin, CEO & Co-owner, Elderly Instruments
