Empowered Ventures has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative to support women entrepreneurs across the United States—a national Women-Owned Business Directory. This platform aims to enhance the visibility of women-led enterprises while fostering valuable connections between consumers, corporations, and business owners.
With over 14 million women-owned businesses nationwide, the directory serves as a vital resource, offering not just business listings but also mentorship, networking opportunities, and essential tools to drive growth. Empowered Ventures is committed to creating an ecosystem where women entrepreneurs can access the support they need to thrive.
“This directory is more than just a platform, it’s a movement,” said Hindi Marciniak, CEO of Empowered Ventures. “We are creating a national space where women entrepreneurs can be found, supported, and celebrated, while also equipping them with the tools and connections they need to thrive.”
Businesses listed in the directory will benefit from a range of features designed to empower women entrepreneurs. Users can search for businesses by category, city, or zip code, making it easier than ever to discover and connect with women-led enterprises. Members gain access to mentorship programs, educational workshops, and business tools tailored to their needs.
Networking opportunities are a key part of the initiative, allowing women business owners to collaborate and build meaningful relationships within a supportive community. To maintain the integrity of the directory, businesses must provide legal documentation verifying that they are at least 51% women-owned.
Diversity and inclusion are central to this initiative. The directory allows businesses to highlight the communities and organizations they are affiliated with, as well as any certifications they hold, further enhancing their credibility.
Empowered Ventures is also welcoming women-focused programs, training initiatives, and workshops to showcase their offerings through the platform. Unlike other organizations, this initiative does not aim to compete but rather to create a centralized hub where women entrepreneurs can easily access a wide range of resources and opportunities.
Women business owners looking to expand their reach and tap into valuable resources are encouraged to join the directory today. Meanwhile, consumers and corporations can use the platform to actively support women-led enterprises, helping to drive positive change within their communities.
