Empower women to achieve their economic goals
Anna Dosen, WomenVenture Board Member and U.S Bank Branch Banking Market Leader for Minnesota has played a critical role in strengthening WomenVenture’s and our clients’ footprint in the state’s business ecosystem.
On March 13, WomenVenture hosted “Seeds for Growth”, an event for business owners looking to access capital and grow their businesses. A pitch competition was included as part of the event and we are honored to highlight the three winners; Hallie Rogers, Rachel Anderson, and Shayla Owodunni.

In the heart of Black History Month, we honor the extraordinary journey of Chaz Sandifer, a shining example of inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs. As the visionary founder and CEO of theNEWmpls, Let Go Let Flow, and Stories Behind the Menu, she epitomizes the entrepreneurial spirit.
