Lorelle Woods
Founder & CEO
2021 was a pivotal moment in my entrepreneurial journey. Enrolling my fitness training business in an entrepreneurship program turned out to be much more than a routine step for growth. Upon completion, I realized the program had the potential to be even more impactful by incorporating business development resources. What started as a short course offering soon evolved into a powerful initiative.
The following year, I became the director of the program and took on the role of designing and facilitating a structured 12-week curriculum, featuring guest experts on various business topics. I streamlined a comprehensive learning environment that grew into a small, supportive community. I began to see the community as the foundation for a transformative vision. I envisioned creating a space that could fundamentally change the landscape for women entrepreneurs.
My goal was clear: to eliminate the roadblocks that many women face, particularly the lack of funding. Countless brilliant business ideas never see the light of day simply due to insufficient financial support. WLN was born from a desire to give women entrepreneurs a fair shot at launching businesses.
WLN is committed to being the leading organization that propels women’s entrepreneurship forward. We are dedicated to cultivating a community where women can build businesses, connect, and create opportunities together. We plan to support our members at all stages of their business journey, providing ongoing funding, business education and mentorship. Our members will remain an integral part of the network, maintaining valuable connections. We believe in the power of women supporting women and are committed to ensuring that every woman has the chance to turn her business vision into reality!
Much success to all women-owned businesses!
