City of Atlanta’s Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative 3.25

Through a competitive selection process, this groundbreaking initiative will give a maximum of fifteen women-owned businesses the opportunity to grow and advance their businesses at the WEI 15 incubator - a best-in-class social working space designed to foster business growth, investability and long-term success. Over the course of fifteen months, the businesses based in the WEI 15, will have direct access to a host of business empowerment resources, including unprecedented mentoring opportunities with Atlanta’s most dynamic business and entrepreneurial leaders, peer-to-peer interaction and funding assistance. At the end of the fifteen month period, the goal will be for the businesses to transition back into Atlanta – fully prepared for sustainable success, growth and job creation.

WEI will be housed in downtown Atlanta’s iconic Flatiron Building – the city’s oldest standing skyscraper. This unique collaborative space, through an exciting partnership with Microsoft, will feature the City’s only Microsoft Innovation Center (MIC). The MIC will provide software exclusively designed for WEI, technology solutions and innovation delivery training to the fifteen women entrepreneurs based in the WEI 15 incubator space!
