Why WISE? 

Only 5% of venture capital funding goes to women founded companies, and there are more men named James leading Fortune 500 companies than women leading Fortune 500 companies. WISE was created to change those statistics!  WISE founders Eliana Berger and Mia Nguyen WISE founders Eliana Berger and Mia Nguyen

We believe that by showcasing entrepreneurial thinking in all fields and industries, more women will be encouraged to pursue entrepreneurship. With a strong sense of community and a diverse set of programs, the WISE women are hoping to empower others who are interested in starting a company or applying an innovative mindset to whatever they pursue in the future.
