We are on a mission to help women-led businesses grow.

In 2024, Alabama was home to over 180,000 women-owned businesses – a 17% increase since 2021, outpacing the 9% growth rate for male-owned businesses. Today, women lead 45% of all businesses across the state.

Yet only 5.5% of women-owned businesses reach $1 million in revenue and on average women generate just a quarter of revenue compared to men owned businesses.
