Andre Davis, Co-founder + Chief Financial Advisor of Livegistics led an amazing workshop yesterday, sharing his 20+ years of expertise in finance and business growth with our female founders! This session was packed with so many invaluable takeaways!

Detroit’s female founders are driving innovation and growth, but the reality is, securing funding is an uphill battle. Only 35.9% have secured grants, and a small 2.6% have tapped into angel investments or crowdfunding. The gap is real, but so is the solution. We’re committed to connecting Detroit’s female founders with the capital they need to thrive. Together, we can bridge the funding gap and fuel the next wave of innovation! #FemaleFounderSchool ??

The Vision - your ability to turn passion into purpose and knowing it's all worth it. 2. Community - Being able to surround ourselves with strong, like-minded women who uplift one another. 3. The Courage to Start - Taking that first leap is always the hardest 4. The Wins (Big & Small) - Celebrating every milestone, no matter how small-because they all matter. ??Happy Thanksgiving!—may this season remind you of the strength, growth, and impact you bring to the world??
