A word from the sponsors
Judith Goldkrand, Wells Fargo Commercial Banking National Women’s Segment leader, shares, “Wells Fargo deeply commits to empowering women business owners. We’re proud to partner with Women Business Collaborative and Babson College to develop this valuable learning series. We hope to help women make informed capital decisions to support their business growth and financial success.”
“WBC is laser-focused on increasing the revenues of businesses owned by women,” said Edie Fraser, CEO of WBC. “The best way to do this is to ensure entrepreneurs and women business owners understand the structures of financing and how to access capital. This collaboration allows women business owners access to the expertise and tools to understand institutional capital structures and how to navigate these systems.”
“This collaboration creates the opportunity for women to become more knowledgeable about capital. This is key to successfully sustaining growth, expanding their scope and scaling their businesses. We work to create a world of inclusive, transformative, and courageous leaders, where others universally recognize women for the value they bring,” said the executive director of Babson College, Dr. Shakenna Williams. “Collaborations like this one get us one step closer to bridging the gender gap in business,” she added.”
Fundamentals of Capital is for women entrepreneurs with employees/teams and the aspiration to annually make $5M-$20M in revenue. You can find each module and interview sign-up here on WBC’s website.
