This logo embodies the WomenVenture mission. A woman stands on an open book, representing a platform of her knowledge and accomplishments. That platform provides the foundation for future growth and attainting her goals.  In one hand she waves a flag, in celebration of her success. With her other hand, she reaches out to offer help to another.
