Welcome to WEV

Women’s Economic Ventures (WEV, pronounced “weave”) is a local, non-profit organization dedicated to creating a just and equitable society through the economic empowerment of women.

WEV provides opportunities for entrepreneurs in every phase of the business life cycle:  start-up, launch, grow, and sustain.  Our programs and services offered fall under the areas of training, access to capital and business services.  All services are open to men and women entrepreneurs interested in starting or growing their business.

At WEV, we believe that women are well qualified to operate a successful business-they just don’t know it, YET! Whether you choose to work for yourself or for someone else, WEV helps you to develop the confidence as well as the personal and technical skills you need to succeed in the business world.
