Q & A
What do you find are the biggest challenges facing women entrepreneurs in Rhode Island ? Top is money and preseed funding . Getting the funding to either start their business and not be burdened by loans and things , or money to scale their business , is something that continues to be challenging for almost all women entrepreneurs . As our demand grows , we have to plan accordingly because we have limited resources and funding .
“ Every time I travel , I feel like I meet a different part of myself . The growth in that , the adaptability that you need for that — that ’ s at the heart of entrepreneurship .”

What are the center ’ s biggest priorities in the year ahead ? The primary focus is always growing our community . And reminding women that they ’ re not alone in the journey . Yes , it ’ s isolating , and you have to do a lot of it yourself , but there ’ s help . You can take calculated risks . There ’ s a support system . There are people who know a lot about this . I also want to showcase more of their stories . There are so many local entrepreneurs here who are worth knowing about and highlighting who have incredible stories . There ’ s this one girl who came from Peru , and she learned how to make clothes from her grandmother , and now she ’ s doing stuff with Fashion Week and starting her business . I ’ m also working on a directory that just focuses on women-owned businesses in Rhode Island , because we get a lot of questions about that .
For any women entrepreneurs who might be reading this , what specific classes do you offer that are good for new people ? It really depends on what stage you ’ re at .
