We couldn't find a room in Pittsburgh dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs, so we built one.
On November 19th, Pittsburgh joins the world in celebrating Women's Entrepreneurship Day with our inaugural WEDOPGH Summit. "What do WEDO?" is your first look at what we are building for women founders in our city and the beginning of a community dedicated to amplifying and empowering them.
This room is for every woman who has dreamed of starting a business, built her vision, or sold her success. You'll hear real stories from founders at every stage, in every version of entrepreneurship, from opening day to exit: the wins, the hard parts, and everything in between. Then we'll turn to what's next: the people, organizations, and resources we have and need to support Pittsburgh's women entrepreneurs.
And because this is about our community, we'll close the day by handing the mic to you to give your elevator pitch. Come to learn, connect, and leave inspired.
WHO IT'S FOR
Women founders at every stage, aspiring entrepreneurs, and everyone who champions them.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
