Ladies Who Launch provides content and community to help women start and expand their businesses and creative ventures. Through their events, e-mail newsletter, website and in-person Incubator programs Ladies Who Launch provides a venue for motivated women to exchange products and services, ideas, and strategic relationships. Ladies Who Launch connects thousands of women to each other by giving them multiple forums in which to connect and ultimately propel their entrepreneurial visions forward in ways they may never have dreamed possible. Below is a menu of the various ways Ladies Who Launch accomplishes its mission:

Ladies Who Launch events and Speaker Series facilitate face to face connections and let like-minded, motivated women swap energy, ideas, goods and services with each other. Our events give women information and inspiration to move forward.

Ladies Who Launch Incubators give women the chance to activate ideas using a highly innovative and focused networking method that has proven results. Thousands of women have gone through the in-person Incubator in cities worldwide and have launched or grown their ventures substantially. In addition to the program and the in-person community exchanges, Incubator members have the unique opportunity to network online both locally and nationally.

Ladies Who Launch weekly email newsletters and in-depth case studies on successful women entrepreneurs provide the emotional support and psychological inspiration to get women started and keep them on the path to success. The Ladies Who Launch website provides the vital tools and resources to execute their creative vision. The newsletter has a total circulation of 25,000 viewers, including website traffic to specific newsletter articles as well as subscribers to the free newsletter. The newsletter’s open rate is close to 40%, which is higher than the industry standard.

The Ladies Who Launch case studies and teaching materials have already been distributed and taught by Ladies Who Launch founder, Victoria Colligan at the Hathaway Brown School for girls in Shaker Heights, Ohio, as part of a highly innovative entrepreneurship program that she has created for them. This program has been hugely successful and well-received just in the short time of its existence.

The Ladies Who Launch LWL network and Launch Pad List connects women online, allowing them to explore strategic relationships and to communicate with each other on a range of topics. There are close to 1000 members of the Ladies Who Launch VIP network and hundreds of testimonials from women describing the ways in which Ladies Who Launch has helped or dramatically changed their businesses through word of mouth communications, strategic partnership opportunities and exposure through the Ladies Who Launch website.

The Ladies Who Launch Search for Success is a bi-annual business idea contest, where the grand prize winner is awarded a package of cash and business services valued up to $40,000. During its first year in existence, the Search drew over 500 business plans from women all over the country.
