Motherboard was born from a simple but powerful realization: women entrepreneurs need community to thrive. Inspired by the explosive growth of women-owned businesses – a remarkable 450% increase in just two years, representing 14 million businesses and 13 million employees contributing $2.2 trillion to the US economy – Motherboard is addressing a critical gap in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

While the "go it alone" narrative can be inspiring, it often leaves women feeling isolated. As an entrepreneur, mother, wife, community leader, and board member, I deeply understand this struggle. I yearned for a collaborative space where I could bring my whole self, a space designed to support women like me.

Motherboard is that space. It's a platform built on the understanding that women thrive through connection and collaboration. Here's how we empower women entrepreneurs:

• Plug into a powerful network: Connect with peers, mentors, and industry experts who understand your journey.

• Access vital resources: Gain the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate challenges and achieve your goals.

• Unlock opportunities: Discover new avenues for collaboration, funding, and business growth.

By bringing together women entrepreneurs, educators, mentors, and industry leaders, Motherboard is fostering a thriving ecosystem of support and collaboration.
