Doyenne Group
Doyenne is a nonprofit membership organization that provides professional development, networking, and mentoring for women entrepreneurs who are building scalable ventures. Our mission is to unleash and ignite the power and potential of women entrepreneurs. We focus on three core strategies to support women entrepreneurs as they launch and scale their dreams: —Develop the Entrepreneur: Expand entrepreneurial skills through professional development workshops and webinars, and provide public programming to highlight women entrepreneurs. —Fund the Ventures: Put dollars into the hands of women entrepreneurs and create pipelines for more women to invest in each other. —Transform the Narrative: Changing the face of entrepreneurship through our voices and the way women entrepreneurs are represented and supported within an ecosystem. Doyenne was founded in 2012 by Heather Wentler and Amy Gannon to right two wrongs. First, to eliminate the gender gap in the entrepreneurial community and second, because they were tired of asking time and again “where are all the women?” Rather than continue to complain, they decided to do something about it. Doyenne is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
